Would you like to feel more connected to your horse?
Its About the Relationship
Being able to connect to your horse makes everything go better. We have probably all experienced times where our horse is not connected with us. When this happens both you and the horse can become frustrated the horse may begin displaying undesirable behaviour. The most important element in forging a strong connection with your horse is a relationship that is based on understanding, trust, respect, and communication.
Only You Can Create Your Relationship with Your Horse
Horses are emotionally intelligent and have a unique relationship with every human they encounter. That is why sending a horse away for training seldom solves foundational behaviour issues for you the owner. An experienced trainer knows how to relate to horses, how to gain their trust and respect and how to communicate to them. Your horses behaviour in its unique relationship with you reflects how you treat it. If you want the horse to behave for you like it does for the trainer you have to take time to learn how to build a healthy relationship with your equine companion.

About Me
I am a retired military veteran and yoga teacher. I have dedicated my life to understanding and helping horses. I have come to believe that everything I have experienced up until now has prepared me to help humans understand and connect to horses.
I have many years experience practicing mindfulness and have worked extensively with veterans and others who are living with the effects of trauma induced stress. Our main focus was to teach these folks how to use mindfulness practices to emotionally self-regulate. When I started working with horses I quickly realized that the same principles used to help humans manage their emotions worked really well in managing equine behaviour. My relationship with horses has given me a new perspective on what it means to be really mindful. They have brought me true joy and an understanding of what it means to be a good person. I would like to share that with you.

My aspiration is to teach humans to understand and communicate with horses to form a relationship based on mutual trust and respect.
