Project Background

The platform focuses on rider biomechanics - core strength, balance, and flexibility - helping dressage riders become better athletes so their horses can move more freely. DRT provides workout video streaming, structured training programs, and social features to build a community of equestrian athletes.

Empiric Infotech developed the mobile app as part of the Foreverfit.tv ecosystem, sharing platform infrastructure with the Online Gym app.
