Coach Sando Training Founder
Meet Tony Sandoval
Over twenty years ago, I began my career as a Division I strength and conditioning coach, helping athletes perform at their highest level. In 2016, everything changed when I worked with a severely injured rider. Through a focused, science-based rehab program, she returned to competition months earlier than expected. That experience sparked a new passion in me: helping equestrian athletes move, ride, and feel their best.
Since then, I’ve immersed myself in the equestrian world—spending countless hours watching riders train, compete, and connect with their horses to better understand the sport’s unique physical and mental demands. I’ve built a team of expert coaches who are lifelong equestrians—athletes who know firsthand what it takes to balance strength, feel, and partnership in the saddle. Together, we’re redefining what it means to train like an equestrian athlete, combining biomechanics, strength, mobility, and mindset to create lasting performance from the ground up.
