Allana has been around horses her entire life and graduated from Otterbein with a degree in Equine Science and Equine Assisted Therapies in 2018. In 2019 she became an Equine Acupressure and Massage Therapist, and integrates these bodywork methods into her training. Over the years she has developed her approach to training horses around the belief that through mindfulness, perpetual education, and

willingness to hear what the horse has to say we can create an environment where horses actively participate in their jobs and work together with the rider to achieve their goals. Allana's primary goal as a trainer is to help clients create a fluid partnership founded in communication and mutual benefit that redefines the boundaries of what is possible between horse and rider.

Reward the effort, redirect the behavior. Good communication and progress relies on giving your horse feedback that will inform a better decision being made. Good relationships are fortified by communication that offers support when your partner is engaging with a difficult situation.

There is more to horsemanship than just constantly telling the horse they can't. It's harder, and requires more awareness, but it yields a partnership. Next time you're thinking about telling your horse "not that," be sure to include "but do THIS."

How to Approach the Spooky Thing With Confidence

Here's an older video I made on utilizing loose serpentines as an exercise to create confidence in your horse during spooky situations.
One edit I will make to what is said in this video (around 3:32) is that I no longer view licking and chewing as directly indicative of processing, but rather simple endorphin release. In this case, I believe it is related to Rain's body and nervous system starting to shift from more sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state.

My friend Katrin in New Mexico is looking for a working student/assistant trainer. She's an amazing trainer, horsewoman, and person in general (not an easy combo to find!). This would be a great opportunity for a young horseperson looking to get their start in the professional equine world.

Horse friends, I am looking for a part-time working student/assistant trainer to join my team - someone with horse experience willing to saddle, groom, do ground work, and, above all, learn. If you think you may be that person, text or call me at (505) 429-7968.
