Her teaching and training is strongly influenced by her practice in traditional Eastern Martial Arts. She is a Centered Riding© Clinician, Holistic Horsemanship Trainer, CHA (Certified Horsemanship Association) Master Instructor/Certifier, and a Senior Horse Speak® Instructor. Heidi feels blessed to have learned directly from her neighboring friend, mentor and the founder of Centered Riding, Ms. S

ally’s work beautifully and effectively blends Heidi’s experience with Eastern philosophies into her horsemanship practice. The Centered Riding basics of Soft Eyes, Breathing, Centering and Balance, along with Grounding and Awareness, lead to amazing results both, on the ground and in the saddle. Heidi has assisted riders of all levels and disciplines improve comfort, communication, confidence & competence in the saddle. She has experience working with a variety of horses including gaited breeds. Heidi’s Holistic Horsemanship approach to training evolved from her education in Natural Horsemanship and her subsequent search for a calmer, softer, more empathetic approach to creating lasting relationships. She was driven by her desire to improve behaviors, safely create boundaries, earn mutual respect and establish connection, all while focusing on enrichment, for both horses and humans. Students across the globe have benefitted by her teachings and have been successful in building safer, more trusting, respectful and enjoyable partnerships with their equine friends. In March of 2017 she began working with Sharon Wilsie, founder and author of the book, Horse Speak, The Equine-Human Translation Guide and Horses In Translation. Sharon’s step-by-step equine translation program has opened new doors for horse owners, trainers, instructors, rescue horse operations and those in the equine therapy profession. In late 2018 Heidi had became a Senior Horse Speak Instructor/Clinician and joined Sharon and Laura Wilsie to form the Horse Speak Educational and Certification Program. Visit SharonWilsie.com. Heidi and her Cheval Canadian Riley enjoy pleasure riding, trails, liberty play and competing in Western Dressage. Their training in Western Dressage helps them both focus on improving fitness and mindfully working up the dressage training scale. Since they began in late 2016 they have enjoyed rewards:

Whispers of the Mountain: Women’s Growth & Learning Retreat with Horses - A nature-inspired experience for finding peace and balance in a hectic world​.

I am so excited about co-guiding this brand-new Women's retreat at one of my favorite host sites, Mountain Horse Farm in Bostic, NC. We warmly welcome nine women to join us in October for this enchanting weekend. No prior knowledge or experience with horses or cows is necessary—bring your authentic selves and an openness to embrace change! We provide nourishing lunches daily and companionship from our horses and cows for this non-riding retreat.

If you, or anyone you know, is ready for a change, finding yourselves at a crossroad in life (retirement, move, job change, family change, etc.), then this retreat is for you!. Flights into Charlotte from most airports are plentiful and inexpensive.

Just a shout out to Hearts & Horses in Buxton Maine for hosting last weekend's Centered Riding clinic. Our fun awareness exercises on the Balance Rider, mini trampolines, and yoga balls helped the riders explore what their horses might be feeling. Applying those lessons in the saddle helped improve balance, security, communication, comfort and connection. Great job everyone! Happy riders and happy horses 🥰
