Picture yourself walking into the barn with real confidence. You know what to work on. You know why. Your coach is watching, but even when they're not, you ride with the same intention, because you've learned from the best in the world.

You love horses. You ride every chance you get. But something feels off, and you can't quite pin it down.

You watch YouTube clips of Grand Prix riders and try to replicate their position. You adjust your hands, shift your weight, follow the advice from a Facebook group. It looks right in the mirror. Then you get on the horse and nothing sticks.

The trainer you see once a week gives you notes, but by Thursday you've forgotten half of them. You film yourself riding, watch it back, and still can't tell what went wrong at fence three. The information exists, scattered across a hundred sources that contradict each other.

Maybe you've spent $300 on a single clinic, stood in a group of 20, and left with one useful takeaway. Maybe you've binge-watched free content and ended up more confused. The real issue is not a lack of effort. You're putting in the hours.

A training exercise breakdown from Equestrian Coach

Sound familiar? Bits and pieces, but no system.

The problem is not talent, and it's not work ethic. The problem is learning from fragments instead of a system. A complete, structured method taught by coaches who have actually produced champions. That kind of instruction used to cost thousands per session and required being in the right zip code. It doesn't have to be that way anymore.

Bernie Traurig, founder of Equestrian Coach

Bernie Traurig

Olympic Show Jumper, 60+ Grand Prix Wins, 50+ Years Coaching

Bernie represented the United States in international show jumping, won over 60 Grand Prix events, and spent the next five decades coaching riders from first-timers to Olympic contenders.

He built Equestrian Coach because the American Forward Riding System, the classical foundation he trained under, was disappearing. The coaches who knew it were retiring. The knowledge was not being passed down in any organized way. Bernie decided to fix that.

He assembled 65 of the best coaches, veterinarians, farriers, judges, and course designers in the sport. Together, they created a video library that covers six disciplines, from your first trot to Grand Prix technique. Every lesson is structured, progressive, and grounded in a system that has produced champions for over half a century.

That was a small preview of a potential redesign of your membership page, based on another page I built that currently generates $4 for every dollar spent.

Here's who built it, and why.

Vincent Nguyen, Growth Ninja

Full-Service Paid Growth for Founder-Led Brands

I run Facebook and Instagram ads for founder-led education businesses.

My clients are people like you: creators and educators who have built real audiences through years of hard work, great content, and word of mouth. They come to me when they are ready to pour fuel on what is already working.

I'm selective. The business has to genuinely help people, the customers have to love it, and I have to feel proud if someone found out I was behind the ads. Equestrian Coach checks every box.

Since January 2026

Not hypothetical. Not from three years ago. These happened in the last few months.

New York Times Bestseller. Got a client onto the New York Times bestseller list. He had been chasing that goal on his own for over a decade. I built the campaign that finally got him there.

New York Times Bestseller

$1M in 11 Days. Generated nearly $1,000,000 in revenue through Facebook ads alone for a single client, in just 11 days. Same client, same product. Better strategy, better creative, better pages.

$977,607 in sales from Jan 1-12, 2026

Sold Out a Live Event, Pro Bono. Ran a volunteer campaign for a live event. Sold out every seat at 3x ROAS. I did it for free because I believed in the event.

ROAS results and client testimonial for sold-out live event

Brought a Dead Funnel Back to 4x ROAS. A client's ads had completely stopped working for months. I built a new offer and rewrote the sales page from scratch. Now profitably running at 4x return to cold traffic.

Sales page rebuild with 4.50x ROAS
11+
Years Running Ads

Full-time, not a side gig

5+ yrs
Avg. Client Retention

Longest client since 2017. People stay because the math works.

How I Work

100% Performance-Based. Since January 2015. I don't charge if it's not profitable. That's not a tagline. It's been the deal for over eleven years.

$

You Cover the Ad Spend. I Earn My Keep.

I take a percentage of the growth I bring in, only after the math works. After ad spend. After your expenses. After my fee. If it's not profitable after everything is accounted for, where you make more than I do, I don't charge. That's why I only take on clients I'm confident I can deliver for. I never spend just to spend.

Full-Service. Not Just Ads.

Facebook ads management is the core, but I also build the landing pages, create the ad visuals, and develop new bonuses designed to lift conversion rates on both the ads and the offer. Everything on this pitch page, the design, the copy, the bonus kit, is the kind of work I do for every client.

You Keep Everything. No Strings.

Every page, bonus, and creative asset I build is yours. Use it for organic traffic, email campaigns, wherever. No exclusivity clauses, no extra percentages. If something I made helps your audience through a channel I'm not running, that's a win.

This Is What Your Ads Would Look Like

Premium creative that matches the caliber of your instruction. This is one concept. I have dozens more.

I Don't Just Drive Traffic. I Build the Offer.

Great ads need a great offer behind them. These are subscriber bonuses I'd create for Equestrian Coach, ready to hand to new members the moment they sign up.

These are just example free bonuses meant to increase conversion rates on your main offer. This has been the difference between getting a 1x breakeven for my clients and getting a 4x return.
