MACY CLARK
CCI3*S Rider & President of UK Eventing
I am the president of the University of Kentucky Eventing Team and we began working with Tony in October of 2018. The improvements in my riding have been undeniable. The most positive change I’ve felt in the last year is an increase in body awareness and strength to effectively use the muscles I have been able to isolate.
The ability to isolate different body parts has particularly helped my dressage riding. I always knew there was a missing piece in my riding and Tony has helped me find it from the ground. Tony has provided our team not only excellent strength training, but motivation, nutritional guidance, and an overall positive team atmosphere in the gym and at the barn.
Our team would not be where we are today without our strength coach!

I started training with Tony in October 2018 and the changes I’ve noticed in my overall riding and reduced pain levels have been dramatic.
Tony has taught me about nutrition, sleep, mental and physical wellness - everything I need as a high performance athlete.

REMY NASH
Young Eventing Horse Trainer
In my 14 years of riding I’ve done it all. I’ve rode a countless number of horses and have had the best trainers. What more could I need? I did not know the answer to that until I started strength training with Coach Tony Sandoval.
I was so comfortable in my way of riding that I did not realise how hard I was working my body for no reason. After a few months of training I was stronger, I felt confident in my riding abilities like never before, and I can ride my last horse of the day as good as my first.
I look back on the past year of strength training with Coach Sandoval and I can now say I am a great rider, which is because I am a strong rider.

ALEXA ELHERS
4*S Event Ri
Coach Tony has developed my mental and physical game immensely through his experience and vast knowledge as a strength and conditioning coach.
Tony’s ability to merge what we do in the gym with what I need to do to be a top equestrian competitor is unmatched.

ALLIE KNOWLES
5* International Event Rider
I have been working with Tony for three years, and his program has enabled me to be stronger and more competitive than ever. He rehabbed me from a shattered pelvis, collarbone and ribs.
As a result my balance, isolated strength and range of motion has far exceeded the expectations of my doctors.

Coach Sando is the best! I’ve been working with him for a year now and I can’t even begin to tell you how much my riding has improved! He works with me and my riding coach to figure out my weaknesses. My dressage scores have improved and I’m much more stable on top of my horse!
As my biggest show of the season was approaching, Tony really helped me feel fit and ready to tackle the biggest cross country course I’ve ever faced! He has improved my endurance and strength as well as my mental game when heading out on course! He always makes sure I’m ready to tackle every horse show I head to! Not to mention, I also consider Tony a friend! He is always there to listen to me and checks up on me and my horses! Really lucky to have found a coach like him.

ANASTASIA VIALOV
UK Eventing
I started working with Tony in 2018 after fracturing my collarbone when a horse fell with me. He has helped me come back from my injury stronger than ever. Tony didn’t just make me a better athlete, he made me a better person. He goes beyond general fitness and instills the importance of mental health and nutrition.
Tony's attention to detail and passion for the welfare and success of his clients is what separates him from the rest.
