Dance in the Sandbox with me

Bringing True Classical Dressage to the Modern Day Horseman
It’s no secret that I was born horse crazed! I have ridden through Grand Prix Dressage and before pursuing my private practice as my main career, I was a full time trainer and professional rider.
I still coach select clientele for the passion and joy of it bringing true classical dressage (not “crank and spank”) and partnership based horsemanship to all disciplines.
Whether your aspirations are the show arena or just to grow closer to your horse, I’m excited to dance with you in the sandbox.
Heart Centered Horsemanship
where connection and partnership are prioritized
Building not breaking
Equine Biomechanics
Unfortunately the horse world is saturated with training that leads to lameness and conditions such as kissing spines as well as shut down and unhappy horses.
I’ve actually had students reverse lameness and even kissing spines (measured through before and after x-rays) by following my methods. Not to mention countless “behavioral issues” have been remedied through this training.
There’s a sparkle that comes back into the eyes of a horse that is helped to feel good in their body, and good in the hands of their rider.
Once you see that light in their eyes and experience that connection, you’ll never go back.
Build don’t break.
Learning & Training through Relaxation
Never educate a rider or horse through fear.
Relaxation is how we retain information and grow.
Coaching
Your Dreams are my Passion
Helping my students achieve their dreams with their beloved horses is a huge passion of mine. Regardless if they are competitive ambitions or simply for the fun of it.
I bring my extensive background from my private practice into my lessons and offer a unique coaching style that fosters huge breakthroughs and even trauma release in riders!
The coaching environments I create are a relaxed, joyful, and safe one that allow riders to challenge their limits and grow to their goals.
Many people forget that we do this for fun! And serious growth and breakthroughs happen in my joy filled environment and strategic coaching.
I am known for:
- True Classical Dressage that focuses on engagement through the movements (not bracing, force, or “crank and spank”)
- Developing horse and rider through the upper level movements
- Equine Biomechanics, rehabbing top line and soundness issues, and teaching self carriage
- Relaxation and partnership based horsemanship
- Connection and softness based training
- Training through effective communication not louder communication
- Creating environmnets that foster ulimate learning for both horse and rider
- Trauma release in riders
- Rider’s emotional fitness
- Joy centered riding
- I bring these principles to intermediate and advanced riders, and a variety of disciplines (Western and English!)
