About April

April Plummer is the creator of the Smart Fit Horse™ program and founder of A Stable Pace, LLC. She is a certified equine massage practitioner through the Equine Studies Institute and brings over 20 years of experience in training, behavior modification, and whole-horse assessment, with a strong commitment to ongoing education.

The Smart Fit Horse™ program was born from one horse who challenged everything April thought she knew. While working through significant behavioral and emotional struggles with her rescue mare, she realized the answers weren’t in riding harder — they were in listening closer. By focusing on the body, emotional state, and subtle movement patterns first, transformation followed.

That experience became the foundation of Smart Fit Horse™: assess before you train, address the body before behavior, and build strength with intention and clarity.
