Schneider Saddlery, since 1948
Since 1948, Schneider Saddlery has outfitted horse people across every discipline from a quiet corner of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. We’re a family-owned equestrian retailer (you may know us as sstack.com) that grew up alongside the riders, trainers, and barn owners who use what we sell. Horses define who we are.
The Horse Training Exercise Library is our gift to that community: a free, searchable collection of 1,000+ horse training exercises across flatwork, jumping, groundwork, western, trail, and speed disciplines. No subscription. No paywall. No gatekeeping. Just the kind of practical, real-arena information we wish we’d had when we were first learning to school a horse.
Why we built this
After decades on the phones with horse owners, we kept hearing the same thing: trainers and riders want one well-organized place to find an exercise that fits the horse standing in front of them today. Existing libraries were scattered across forums, magazines, paywalled courses, and clips of varying quality. So we built one ourselves.
Every exercise in the library is curated, tagged, and reviewed by our in-house team of riders and trainers across multiple disciplines. We label each by skill level, focus area, and time required so you can plan a purposeful ride in under thirty seconds — whether you have fifteen minutes before sunset or a full Saturday afternoon.
What you’ll find in every exercise
- Discipline labeling — flatwork / dressage, jumping, groundwork, western, trail, or speed
- Skill level — beginner, intermediate, or advanced
- Time estimate so you can plan a ride that fits the time you actually have
- Step-by-step instructions written for the rider, not the textbook
- Common mistakes to avoid so you don’t accidentally train the wrong habit
- Variations and progressions for when your horse is ready for more
- Equipment links to sstack.com for the cones, poles, and tack you need to set the exercise up
Contributing your own exercises
If you teach, train, or have an exercise that’s served you well, we want it. Submissions are reviewed by our editorial team for clarity, safety, and effectiveness before being added to the library. Use the Submit an Exercise form on the home page to send one in.
Part of Schneiders EQ
The Horse Training Exercise Library is one of several free resources we’ve built for the horse community under the Schneiders EQ umbrella — our growing network of digital tools, education, and community for horse owners. Alongside this library, Schneiders EQ includes our community forum, the Horse Feed Calculator, the Schneiders EQ podcast, and more on the way. They all share the same principle: real information from real horse people, no gatekeeping, no fluff. Just better days at the barn.
Because at Schneider Saddlery, Horses Define Who We Are.
