I am a horse-first trainer.

 

Something deep within me has always rebelled against the idea of "showing the horse who's boss."  I would sit and watch the horses with one another.  They were sometimes firm, but always fair.  It inspired me.  So I took that mentality of dominance and I set it down.  Unsure of the path ahead, the only tools at my disposal were a rudimentary understanding of pressure and release and the deep belief the horse was vastly sensitive creature, I started my journey.​​

​

My method has come a long way since then.  I have spent summers riding through the high country of the Sierra Nevada, countless hours in the round pen with wild mustangs, and seek instruction in every discipline I can.  From hunter jumpers to reined cow horses to liberty horsemanship I've come to appreciate the sheer adaptability of our equine companions, and the nuance each discipline takes.

​

On this journey, I've found my passion is not in any one discipline, but in helping people connect to their horses in new ways; registered and grade, performance and companion alike.
