Get Square In The Saddle (And Be Able To Stay There!) — In Just 7 Weeks
...EVEN IF YOU’VE HAD MULTIPLE SURGERIES AND INJURIES,
AND FEEL LIKE A PRETZEL
Ride with balance and relaxation, stop slipping in the saddle,
and create a straighter path to your riding goals.
You know that in order to open yourself up to more refined riding, you have to be balanced and centered on your horse.
You’d stay perfectly square, smack-dab in the middle of the saddle even as you focus on making transitions.
Your legs would be relaxed and drape around your horse instead of bracing.
You’d effortlessly make those small adjustments in your body without throwing you or your horse off-kilter. He’d feel you, respond to you quietly and you’d both have a sense of ease and freedom riding together.
You’d confidently try more advanced movements knowing your saddle won’t slip to the side.
And you’d make consistent, steady progress…because your seat is completely squared away (pun intended ;-).
But hold your horses — that’s not happening quite yet, is it?
At least, not consistently...
You can get there, which is awesome. But the moment something pops in your head, your horse makes a move or you want to make a transition *BOOM* you’re right back to being crooked. Despite the fact that you -
It’s like even with all of these valuable assets under your belt, getting and staying square in the saddle still feels like a daily practice, a riding dream you’ll be working toward forever.
But does it have to be?
There’s a rebellious side of you that knows you can ride the way you want, with freedom — even as your body shows signs of aging.
It’s how I felt, too. I knew I could bet on myself, and on my love for riding.
If I was going to ride after 40, I wasn’t going to settle.
And with years of sitting at a desk, multiple surgeries, sprained ankles, falls, and a broken arm… My body was making compensations on my horse that made me stiff, awkward and counterproductive.
But hey, you know us riders… we work hard!
So, guess what I did? I signed up for extra riding lessons. Read more books. Stretched and exercised more. Started going to the chiropractor. Invested in new gear. I tried EVERYTHING under the sun. And I really wish I could say that after all that hard work things changed, but after YEARS of trying to fix my seat without any real, long-lasting results, I had to face the music: my riding was still contrived, forced and rigid. That’s when I realized that working hard serves a purpose, no doubt.
But as riders, you and I need to choose grace over grit.
Because those gorgeous, elegant riders that we love to watch (and sometimes feel envious of), they’re full of GRACE. Not stiff, rigid movements.
And that idea behind “working hard” is meant to keep us motivated and aiming for our riding goals.It’s NOT how we achieve them.
I’m proud to say I work on my ride. Riding, at times, can be hard work.
But I knew I wanted more than a “working hard” badge of honor.
Maybe you’re like me too. I didn’t want to just admire elegant, effortless women riders. I wanted to BE one. Deep down I *KNEW* I could be like them - in my own unique way - even though my mind wanted to tell me I was “too old” or “too late” or “too many injuries”.
And if you’re nodding your head yes, I want to tell you...
Riding square, centered, and balanced in the saddle is 100% possible.
No matter how old you are, what injuries you’ve had or what level you’re at, the fact is:
the solution is the same.
There’s no magic pill. You need...
New. Muscle. Memories
Why?
Because right now your riding is built around muscle memories configured to go crooked, stiff and awkward when you’re not paying attention (it’s a habit). And it’s why when you shift your focus away from your seat you always seem to fall back off balance.
Your muscles aren’t doing anything “wrong”. They’re just doing what they knew through repetition. (Hello, long work hours in front of a computer. And injuries. And surgeries...)
So when your muscle memory breaks free from these bad habits and gets reconfigured with alignment-building ones, they operate differently. YOU get steady, secure and square in the saddle — automatically.
Imagine if you could...
Not only is this possible, but I created a program to help you accomplish all of this (and then some).
Introducing…
Square In The Saddle In 7 Weeks
The 7-week rider program that GUARANTEES you get and stay square in the middle of your saddle - no matter your age or riding level. Designed for passionate, determined women riders like you.
11 years ago, I went from crooked and frustrated to centered and confident. Now? I get to focus on higher levels of refined riding I used to only dream of -- and I’ve helped hundreds of women riders do the same.
And now I’m handing over the step-by-step system I used to get square… to you.
Hi! I’m Heather Beachum.
And 11 years ago, I had no idea how to ride centered on my horse - at least, not for extended periods of time. You already know that I was facing challenges from past injuries and surgeries, but still I worked hard. I showed up for lessons even when it was frustrating. But what made the biggest difference was trying new things.
Today I have a soft, supple, square seat. And it’s because of the specific strategies I learned OUTSIDE of our regular riding and fitness exercises.
And when it first happened, it got a lot of people’s attention…
Riders and instructors complimented me on my seat. Others asked me who I was working with, and they all (including instructors) wanted to know what my secret was.
Curious to know what my big secret is to riding balanced and centered - and catching the eyes of my fellow riders and instructors?
It’s face-palm simple. You ready?
The reason most riders can’t stay square isn’t because they don’t know what to do or don’t work hard enough. It’s simply because their muscles are conditioned that way.
You see, our muscles are designed to remember and follow repeated behaviors (otherwise we’d have to relearn how to walk every time we get out of bed or stand up from a chair).
Which means right now, if you’re stiff and rigid on your horse (especially when you’re focusing on other things), it’s because your body’s default is “crooked”. So no matter how much you *think* about what to do, your body simply can’t. Not for extended periods of time. And not when you turn your attention to something else.
BUT when you retrain your muscles to follow the behaviors of “centered”, it becomes your NEW default. Which leads to… a squared, balanced, centered YOU.
“Now my horse is softer, and I get compliments on my seat!”
“Before I started working with Heather I was facing fear, and my body was so messed up.
I noticed a difference the very first session, and it just got better from there as each week is so valuable.
Now my horse is softer, and I get compliments on my seat! I recommend this program even if you don’t have your own horse. Every week you will head to the barn with a new confidence. Thank you, Heather!”

"I Was So Surprised With How Quickly My Riding Changed!"
"Before I started Heather’s program I was dealing with injuries and fear issues around cantering.
I saw Heather's program, and was very hesitant to enroll at first, thinking this couldn't possibly help me. But I just felt it was the right thing for me to do, so I signed up, and am I happy I did!
Shortly after starting with Heather changes in my riding happened quickly. Right away I began to ride without tension, being centered in my saddle and my hands got more quiet.
Now, I'm cantering happily, and I just did an obstacle competition and it was so great to just stop at each place and know exactly how my weight was balanced in my seat, where my legs were, my feet in the stirrups and where my hands were. We got great scores! And I never felt rushed. I plan to ride a lot this spring and summer and will be listening to my mounted sessions as I go along in my riding. Thank you, Heather!"

And the good news? You won’t pay that. Not even close 🙂
As horseback riders, you and I make different buying choices from folks who don’t. We choose riding workshops over iWatches and tack store visits to shopping sprees at the mall.
And sure, you could figure all this stuff out on your own, enrolling in the specialized $25,000 training I took to learn the techniques I show you inside, scouring Youtube videos to piece together what you can, lining up for more 1-1 lessons hoping your instructor can explain HOW to ride centered and squared this time.
But because I’m so passionate about getting this training in your hands and getting YOU square in the saddle, you can get started TODAY for just...

The Square Guarantee

Here Are The FAQ’s
LOVE this question. Hands down, there are great riding programs out there.
You can work with an instructor in group and private lessons. I’ve personally taken thousands of hours in riding lessons, read every well-known book on riding, watched videos, used metaphors & visualization, sat on swivel chairs, and gone through multiple fitness & stretching programs. All of which are valuable in their own right.
However, you will not find a training program out there like Square In The Saddle In 7 Weeks.
Instead of pointing out what you need to fix, drilling you with information, and telling you what you’re doing wrong, what I teach you breaks bad habits previously thought to be right, you relearn an ease you thought long gone that recalibrates your center and your balance and transforms your muscle memory from crooked to square that happens automatically.
I teach you easy ways to build on top of that so you know in your bones the how and why of what to do to be a successful rider .
This is not just a training on riding. It’s a training on empowerment.
The Square In The Saddle In 7 Weeks mounted lessons are completely unique.
First, you’ll download it onto the device of your choice (phone, tablet or mp3 player). From there, round up you and your horse in a place where you feel safe, that might be a round pen or an open field, alone or with people around...it’s entirely up to you.
Then, the recording guides you through the session. You’ll learn how to allow your horse to move freely and to follow his movement. You’ll feel what a “correct” seat is, and how to direct your horse with simple shifts in your weight that he can feel, but keep you centered and safe.
No. you do not have to canter.
Every recording is done at the walk, and I recommend you start there even if you are a very advanced rider. Once you have gone through it, feel free to revisit the lesson at the trot or canter if you want to.
Absolutely. Once you go through Square In The Saddle In 7 Weeks, you’ll get 3x more out of every hour you ride whether you’re on a leased horse, a friend’s horse or a lesson horse.
100% YES. In fact, every rider I’ve supported over the last 11 years has been entirely online whether she lives nearby or abroad. So no matter where you call home, you can be balanced and centered on your steed.
Ideally, you’ll complete the program in 7 weeks. However, Square In The Saddle In 7 Weeks is a self-guided program. And because you have lifetime access to the modules, trainings and bonuses, you can go through it as fast or as slow as you want.
Just as with any training, you will still need to set time aside in order to complete each module. Many of the women who have gone through the program have reported that this training replaced many of the outdated exercises they were trying previously. Each module requires about 2.5 hours of your time, and you’ll find that you actually save time by going through them because you’ll be eliminating old techniques that get you nowhere.
YES! In fact, this program is perfect for you because it will bring you the best functioning possible for your situation, and may very possibly get rid of stiffness and pain entirely - I can say this because it has for dozens of women riders just like you!
YES! Bring your hardware! You will walk away with the best possible outcome of mobility and stability from the program. Above you can read about Judi Qualls, who had ankle replacement, and hear what she gained from working with me.
Great question. Here’s what you need:
A stool or chair with no arms
A place to sit and lay down
A device to watch the recordings
A device to listen to the mounted sessions
Definitely. Once you join, you’ll be added to our private facebook group where you can ask me questions and get my feedback whenever you need or want it.
You have lifetime access, and I’m in there consistently so you’ll have your answer in no time 🙂
OF COURSE. Because this program is a combination of unmounted and mounted sessions you’ll gain the initial benefit from the unmounted session, and when you’re riding again you can just take everything you’ve gained right into the saddle with you.
This was Lana’s experience with this program. Did you see her story above?
You’ll receive an email from me with all the details for your Square In The Saddle In 7 Weeks program... how to access your private Membership Dashboard with the recordings and class materials, how to join our private Facebook group...all the juicy stuff.
From there, all you have to do is enjoy your classes and what your horse has to say about the new, square, balanced, centered you!
Your time and energy is precious. And I don’t want to waste a pinch of it telling you Square In The Saddle is for everyone. Because it isn’t.

No more wondering what to do or how to do it.
