Remember the movie “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” and how one pair of pants made each totally differently shaped friend feel and look her best?

Am I the only one who knew this was an impossible fantasy?

You know what I mean, there ain’t no way those pants fit each one of those girls *that* good.

It’s not possible.

Just like it’s not possible that your fave saddle “fits every horse” you throw it on.

When you take into account:
✅ a saddle’s support area should never land beyond the horses last rib
✅ that there is no industry standard for what a “medium” tree actually means
✅ and that most saddle fit conversations focus more on if you can fit 2-3 fingers between the saddle and the top of the whither
✅ and no one even mentions a word about checking to see if the tree angle allows adequate space for your horses scapula to glide backwards under the tree point so that they can painlessly reach forward to take a big swinging step

It’s as if we’ve all fallen for the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” fairy tale instead of the cold hard fact that just like their is no magical pant that fits every woman’s body, there is not saddle that fits every horse you put it on.

The ponies I’ve owned alone prove this. Look up almost every “high end” saddle company and their pony saddle will come in a “pony tree”.

I’ve had narrow ponies, fat ponies, sway backed ponies, big shouldered ponies, narrow shouldered ponies, and ponies with shark fin withers. Ain’t no way that “pony tree” is as magical as a fictional pair of pants.

And you know what really fries my pickle?

Ponies deserve the BEST fitting saddle possible. One that fits so good they lick and chew when it plops down on their back. One that makes them yawn, slow blink and c**k a hind foot. They deserve a saddle that fits because they are in charge of the world’s most precious cargo - your child.

Ever been cranky because your feet hurt after a long day in shoes that just don’t fit quite right?

Now imagine you have to carry a kiddo around on your back and if you don’t act like a perfect angel people call you “naughty”, reprimand you, and worst case scenario someone WAY over the 20% of your body weight rule pops on your back to “show you who’s boss”.

The insanity does not escape me.

Every BODY deserves to be pain free and wearing clothes that fit - even your horse.

There are no magical saddles that fit every horse you put it on and there are no magical pants that fit every woman in your girl group.

Helping heart-centered horse owners like you turn your problem horse into your dream horse.

- Trailer loading problems?
- Rushing under saddle?
- Pushy on the ground?
- Performance jitters?

15 years of experience helping owners turn problem horses into dream horses through gentle, consensual horsemanship.

I’m the person you call when grabbing a bigger whip, using a butt rope, grabbing for the stud chain, or round penning your horse until you can mount up begins to make you wonder if there’s a better way.

You *know* there’s a better way, and you need someone who both agrees and has the skillset to implement a heart-centered approach.

Hi, my name is Colleen and I moved to Eau Claire from Northern California last fall. I’ve helped horses and owners across all disciplines but I’ve spent the last 8 years specializing in sporthorses.

I’ve successfully helped owners with horses that:
- won’t load
- buck/rear under saddle
- can’t be caught
- rush/get jiggy
- and more

I work with all ages and level of horse and rider.
I’m just as happy working with you in your back yard as I am walking with you to the winners circle.

No matter your goals, you and your horse deserve an easeful relationship.
If you’re ready to explore a heart-centered approach that works, I’m your horsewoman.

I will be in the Twin Cities teaching on July 7th (The sunflower is back!! IYKYK)

🌻Does your horse have a big heart but struggles to live up to expectations on the ground and in the saddle?

🌻Have you been down every rabbit hole, changed trainers, and gotten your horse more bodywork only to keep running into the same exact issues?

🌻Are you starting to believe that you are the problem?

Equestrian sport is at a crossroads. We are learning that it takes a team approach to get the most out of our horses performance while also making sure they are living happy, enriching lives outside of the arena as well.

That’s where I come in.

I’m not here to replace your dressage trainer, take over for you jumping trainer, or push your riding instructor aside.

I’m here to bridge the gap.

Your trainer is amaze-balls at what they do. You love them! But their specialty isn’t in helping your nervous horse learn to be cool as a cucumber when the fly spray comes out. They also don’t specialize in trailer loading, how the style of your breath affects your horses nervous system, or how to help a horse who isn’t perfectly put together find balance and harmony with less than perfect conformation.

That’s what I do.

Know someone this would help? I serve all of Wisconsin and Eastern Minnesota.

I’ll be in the Twin Cities on 7/7 and would love to meet you and your horse!🐴🌻❤️

FAQ -

▫️Who uses my services?
Trainers looking for in-house help with their green horses, horses recovery from EPM, and those coming back after injury. Owners with horses that are great in the arena but worried in the barn, horses that are habitually falling in or bracing on the inside rein, horses that are weak in the hind end despite regular work, and riders dealing with anxiety.

▫️What kinds of methods do you use?
I have a vast assortment or skills and tailor my tools to fit the horse. I seamlessly blend attunement, natural horsemanship, positive reinforcement, horse and rider biomechanics, with a science-based understanding of how horses brains work when learning new skills.

▫️How much are sessions?
Sessions are $60/hr and my travel fee is waived if I’m seeing 4 or more clients in your area on the same day.

▫️What’s the best way to book a session?
Send me an email or text and let’s set up a time to chat! I’d love to hear where you and your horse are at, what you’re struggling with, and what goals you’re trying to accomplish together.

Let’s connect today!

Our team of horses and riders had a fabulous time at #BrooksideSplash! . Showing is an amazing opportunity for horses and riders to grow, deepen their trust in one another, and have FUN! . Dolce, owned by the Robert's family, is loving bobbing for carrots after his well earned ribbon!

Wow!! Westley and Natalie's second time working on vertical balance and just look at him begin to carry her and stretch forward and out towards the contact. It's so rewarding to see them grow so quickly! Westley is a naturally right bent horse who has a tendency to lean on his left front foreleg rather than evenly distributing his weight across both forelegs. You can see that when he evenly distributes his weight he begins to lift through the wither and this creates balance. When his body balances itself properly he stretches towards the bit rather than needing Natalie to support his front end with the contact. This helps create a quieter and softer relationship between both horse and rider. 🌻❤🐴 #compassionatetrainingatwork #horseshumansharmony #ottb #ottblove
