My program is built on a careful integration of traditional horsemanship, classical equitation, and anatomy and biomechanics. It is important to me that horses are handled well and with intention and integrity, which helps promote balance from a physiological and mental perspective. Horses that are physically balanced and calm are horses that will be truly willing, confident, and sound long into their careers. The “type” of riding that someone wants to do does not matter as much to me as the foundation on which everything is built. Good horsemanship transcends specific disciplines, and we can achieve so much with our horses when we build a solid foundation.

My professional background and training in psychology also allows me to meet people where they are and understand what they need in order to be in an optimal learning frame of mind. My ability to provide safe and connected relationships with clients makes it possible for them to improve how they understand and get along with their equine partners. 

I am dedicated to learning, deep self-reflection, and I consider myself a student first. I believe that the more knowledge we gain, the more there is to learn. I am always searching for a deeper understanding of quality horsemanship that benefits the horse first.
