Dr. Tim Worden

Sean is pleased to have Dr. Tim Worden as a partner. Dr. Worden completed his PhD graduate studies in biomechanics at the University of Guelph, Canada in 2016. His focus is applying evidence-based training and management practices to sport horses. He has consulted for Equestrian Canada and has worked with several FEI riders to provide detailed performance analytics. He has studied different training programs and their relationship to performance and generated a database of jumping competition results.

Dr. Worden is passionate about disseminating impactful research with key stakeholders in the sport horse community. He is a frequent writer for online equestrian publications and has contributed to several informational videos.

“The overall goal when coaching an athlete, including horses, is to light a fire in them,” Dr. Worden explains. “Put them in a position where they enjoy their job and want to do it well. Once we figure out how to make a horse happy and willing to perform, then we pour kerosene on that fire. we build the confidence, make sure they always have positive experiences, and then the horse will really fly.”
