Rider in Balance (RIB) was founded by veterinarian and researcher Maria Terese Engell with a vision to create a healthier future for equestrian sports.

Our philosophy is clear: performance should never come at the expense of health and welfare. A sustainable and healthy sport is achieved when rider and horse work together.

We have gathered some of the world's leading experts in equine medicine, research, and technology to develop training methods and products that enhance the health, welfare, and performance of both horse and rider. Through a unique combination of science and practical experience, we strive to strengthen the partnership between horse and rider, prevent injuries, and optimize training.

To share our expertise with a wider audience, we have established RIB Academy – a digital learning platform, providing riders and trainers at all levels with the tools they need to become better equestrians.
