Even the smallest changes in our body language and emotional state can be detected immediately in a horse’s presence. By recognizing and managing our emotions prior to stepping foot inside the barn, we can build stronger, more harmonious connections with these intuitive animals.

We're happy to be back to our full schedule after a short break. We will be enforcing the following rules regarding jumping.

Any one who is taking part in any jumping, whether this be in a lesson or jumping their own personal horse, will be required to wear a safety vest. No one will be allowed to jump without a safety vest.

Safety vests are required by the USPC when jumping over solid fences and are recommended during ALL mounted activities.

Safety vests are rated and USPC requires all vests to be correctly fitted and rated at the following

BETA 2018 or ASTM F1937

Vests that do not carry this rating will NOT meet the standards for jumping.

You can try on vests at Dover Saddlery in Austin or Houston to get a correct fitting, then often find deals online.

About Me

My Experience, My Passion

For as long as I can remember my passion has been horses. From a young age worked at riding schools and boarding facilities, cleaning out stalls and caring for the horses. I was lucky enough that my Mom also had the love of horses and I cannot remember a time in my life where horses have not been a part of it in some way. I moved to the states from England, (where I completed my education and gained most of my experience) after meeting my husband who is an American.

Over the years I have trained a number of horses and have successfully ridden in local competitions throughout my early to mid 20s. After leaving high-school I went on to college to study Animal care and then onto University in Nottinghamshire (UK), where I completed a Bsc in Equine Sports Science. Along side studying for my degree I also studied to take British Horse Society (BHS) qualifications. I completed and passed the BHS Stage 1 riding and horse care qualifications.

After completing my degree, I went on to become a student support worker in a college, where I provided classroom support to student with additional learning needs. Whilst working as a support worker I attended night-school and gained the qualifications that I needed to become a college teacher. This then lead to me becoming a full time instructor at Barnsley college, Wigfield farm.For five years I taught students from the age of fourteen up to adult, who were studying to get a foundation degree in Animal Care, my main focus being the equine industry.
