Horse Training Frame of Mind
My ultimate goal in horse training is to teach and show a horse how to enjoy their job. I focus on a training method that helps horses to understand a working partnership with their riders through soft, subtle and quiet cues. Not matter how old or young you are, I can help you be the leader that your horse desires you to be. I believe in a training method that teaches a horse how to be quiet, calm, soft, receptive, and responsive. Once a horse leaves my program, it is equally important to help the rider be in tune with the responsiveness that is created in training so the horse can continue positive. I not only desire to teach your horse, but teach YOU how to continue the education that your horse receives. It is very important to be a part of your horse’s training. Everything we do as humans, teaches our equine partners something. I want that learning to be positive, which is why, the owner plays a vital role in training. I love to have owners included and give knowledge on the reasoning behind what I am training horses to do. Communication is key! I will help you tune into what you are communicating with your horse through your body, tone of voice, energy, and attitude.
Ground work is an extremely big part of a horses' foundation and is also a tool to fix a majority of problems that arise from a panic or anxiety filled horse. I have a dedication to be the best horsewomen that I can be, and I am devoted to continuing education. I believe you can never stop learning!
