Ground Up
Built From the
MEET BRANDEE BRATTON
Horsewoman, competitor, and the mind behind The Edge Method™.
She sold her horses in 2000 and dove headfirst into the world of elite athletics — coaching triathletes, physique competitors, and world-class lifters.
She didn’t just play in the gym ... she dominated it, earning pro titles, national + world records, and the nickname “The Muscle Mender” for her ability to fix movement, rebuild strength, and push athletes past their limits.
Now? She’s back in the saddle ... and she’s rewriting what horsemanship looks like.
No recycled drills. No “good-enough” mindset.
Just science-backed strategy + western backbone, fused into one system that actually works.
“The arena changed — but the grit didn’t.”
A SYSTEM THAT CAN’T BE IMITATED
The Edge Method
The Edge Method™ blends Brandee’s elite coaching background with grounded horsemanship, focusing on three non-negotiables...
Performance
Train the rider like the athlete they are. Strength, balance, and control that hold up under pressure.
Recovery
Longevity over burnout — body maintenance, mobility, and recovery that keep both horse and rider performing longer.
Connection
Groundwork and communication that create mutual trust and confidence — the kind that can’t be faked.
The Edge Method™ turns good riders into grounded, consistent, confident ones — the kind the industry remembers.
RECOVERY & WELLNESS SESSIONS
Performance isn’t just built
it is maintained.
Freeze the pain.
Fire up the performance.
CRYOTHERAPY
Cryotherapy targets inflammation and lactic acid buildup in both horse and rider — using precision cold exposure to speed up recovery and keep muscles firing clean.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS...
→ Decreases inflammation & swelling
→ Flushes lactic acid and metabolic waste
→ Eases joint & muscle soreness
→ Accelerates tissue repair
→ Enhances post-ride recovery time
→ Improves overall endurance & mobility
For Horses
SPOT AREA $35 • NECK $50 • TOPLINE $50 • FULL BODY $175
For Riders
NECK/SHOULDERS $30 • BACK/FACE $45
RED LIGHT LASER
Red light laser sessions boosts circulation, oxygen, and cellular repair at a deep-tissue level — helping muscles, tendons, and ligaments recover faster and perform longer.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS...
→ Increases blood flow for better muscle performance
→ Reduces inflammation & stiffness
→ Accelerates recovery between rides or workouts
Turn recovery
into regeneration.
Because tension
does not fix itself.
MUSCLE MENDING
Brandee’s signature method — inspired by decades in strength coaching — combines scraping, targeted mobility work, and pressure release techniques to reset movement patterns.
This isn’t “massage.” It’s hands-on functional work that restores balance, alignment, and range of motion for both horse and rider.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS...
→ Release deep muscle tension & adhesions
→ Improve posture + range of motion
→ Reduce stiffness + soreness
→ Support joint alignment + balance
→ Prevent repetitive strain or overuse injuries
COMPRESSION + MOBILITY
Compression + mobility sessions target fatigue and stiffness — helping muscles recover faster while improving joint support and flexibility.
For riders, this means fewer aches and cleaner movement. For horses, it means lasting performance and comfort through the grind of training season.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS...
→ Promote circulation + lymphatic drainage
→ Enhance flexibility + muscle elasticity
→ Aid joint support + recovery
→ Prevent stiffness between workouts or rides
Mobility Is
your secret weapon.

your horse deserves.

Brandee trains riders the same way she built elite athletes: with strength, stability, and body awareness that hold up through every turn, sprint, and stride.
Whether you train in her Kansas-based Rider Fitness Studio or virtually from anywhere, each session builds the kind of balance, core strength, and mobility that separates good riders from great ones.

→ BALANCE & CONTROL = ride centered, stay fluid

" Though stars now mark his final flight, his love remains to guide your night. "
IN HONOR OF BRANDON HOBBS
SEPTEMBER 16, 1973 — FEBRUARY 6, 2025
He embodied strength under pressure and compassion in leadership — traits that continue to inspire everyone who knew him.
His dedication to his family, his team, and his country set a standard for what it means to live with purpose.
He may have taken his final flight, but his impact — and his example — will never fade.
