Who and What is SureStride
My name is Elisha (nickname Leasha), I fell in love with horses and riding at a very early age, here I am riding my Shetland 'Roscoe' at 18 months old, even at this age I was trying to teach other kids how to lead and groom him, I enjoy teaching and watching the confidence and ability of those that I teach grow very much. One of the other aspects that I am very passionate about as it is so important to a horse and riders comfort and performance is tack.
I had been a long term fan of Heather Moffett, her teaching, her methods and her dedication to speaking up for the horse! I was lucky enough for life to give me a time space and opportunity to train with her and I take great pride in being one of her EET's.
Heather Moffett Saddles
During my time with Heather we spoke about her saddles and I became a consumer, seeing first hand the benefits that came with swapping traditional tree's out for her amazing soft tree designs and being sure that she could easily help me to achieve the perfect fit with them, She helped me with a Pad-dle for our Eriskay mare that we were at the end of our tether trying to fit otherwise!
When Heather spoke with me regarding her wish to take semi-retirement and to offer me the incredible opportunity to look after the HM FlexEE and the HM Pad-dle I was speechless! I didn't have to consider for a second before greatfully taking up her kind offer, having been such a happy customer myself, what a wonderful thing!! to be able to look after these products that I have complete faith and pride in.
Now I am only a very small business, but we are progressive, we hope to increase our product base with items that clients will love and we will never stop listening, listening to our clients, their requirements, their needs and their feedback, we are more than happy to help and always will be (anyone that has 'encountered me already will no I love to chat about horses and riding).
The 'We' that I refer to in this is myself and Heather, who I look to for expertise and advice (and although she has a wealth of knowledge and expertise, I am sure she wont mind me saying that she is in fact a small business too, with her own horses and animals to fund) and knowing both the joys and stresses that come with being an equestrian we will always try to go over and above to help clients, we enjoy it and I love her company and camaraderie that I find in working in conjunction with her - together we are grateful for all our clients and appreciate the support, its hard sometimes being a small fish in such a large pond but we find great joy in working with clients on such a personal level and would not wish for this to ever change.
As far as riding is concerned I believe in keeping riding simple, in working to encourage the horses participation and that the best horse to ride is one that has been allowed to maintain his character. riding can be a therapeutic endeavor, where you quiet your mind to everything else except riding and are tethered to the moment with dedication and happy intentions and this can happen automatically, almost instantaneously as we settle into the saddle - but wouldn't it be wonderful if this experience could be also as happy for the horse? And this is why I will always have an enormous admiration for Heather Moffett, her experience, her teachings and her Enlightened Equitation methodology. I created SureStride to help deliver these methods, in my own way and to spread awareness of blissful riding through Enlightened Equitation.
