Discover horsemanship with a Western dressage emphasis tailored for both horse and rider, fostering balance and forging strong partnerships. As a coach, my objective isn't to dictate instructions but to cultivate in riders a deep sense of connection and understanding. Sessions are dedicated to honing riders' ability to communicate effectively with their horses, encouraging them to discern and analyze their horse's cues and movements. By creating conducive learning environments, riders learn to be advocates for their horses, attuning themselves to their surroundings, their horse's responses, and their own physical and emotional states. We extend a warm welcome to riders of all disciplines who are prepared to embark on the journey of self-awareness and commitment necessary to excel in their partnership with their horse.

We understand that addressing emotional, physical, and mental issues in your horse is crucial for their well-being and performance. Through years of practice, it has become evident that these aspects are deeply intertwined and cannot be separated.
Horses, like humans, experience stress in various forms, and it often manifests in subtle ways. Whether it's due to trauma, poor training, or neglect, the effects can be profound. However, the most common and insidious stressors stem from untreated imbalances in the body, leading to chronic dysfunction that affects muscles, bones, the nervous system, and overall health.
Attempting to solely address physical issues without acknowledging the emotional and mental components is akin to treating symptoms without addressing the root cause. While physical interventions may provide temporary relief, true healing cannot occur unless the horse feels safe and present in its body.
Our approach emphasizes creating a safe space for the horse to connect with its body and begin the healing process. This may require patience and understanding as we navigate through layers of stress and dysfunction. We recognize that healing is a journey, not a quick fix, and we are committed to supporting your horse every step of the way.
It's essential to recognize that ignoring stress and dysfunction can have long-term consequences, impacting not only performance but also the horse's overall well-being. By acknowledging the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and soul, we can help your horse achieve comfort, safety, and a deeper connection with you for the long term.
My evaluation program is influenced by BTMM, among many other modalities, which emphasizes the importance of biomechanics, balance, and relaxation in achieving optimal performance and well-being for both horse and rider. By focusing on balance and movement, we can unlock your horse's full potential while deepening the connection and mutual understanding between you.
