Peaceful snuggle time in the stall before the snowy storm rolls in….
My heart is full. 😽🐴❤️

The impact horses have had on peoples’ lives throughout history is simply incredible. How lucky are we to be graced with their presence in our world!

With immense gratitude for these magnificant animals,
Happy National Day of the Horse 💕🙏🐴

The weather is so warm for this time of year! At 26 years old, my guy was feeling it last night and decided he had other places to be rather than running a Liberty Circle around me… 😂

Remember, our best looks different everyday and this goes for our time with our horses too. We don’t want a “broke” horse, whose spirit has faded and they’ve just given into the process. We want their personality, confidence and spark to always shine bright.

I’ll call this a ‘bloopers reel’ of my time with Romulus last night; an intelligent, leader kind of a horse who even 25 years later has some opinions to share. lol 🙃

It’s a wrap!
I had a great time at the Horse Crazy Market this year!

Best parts? Meeting new people, saying hello to friends, and us all sharing all about horses. And, look who stopped by and took a pic with me…. Kaycee Dutton and Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone!

(😆 couldn’t resist. I’ll blame it on lack of sleep from these last several days. ☺️lol)

I’m so excited to be presenting at this year’s Horse Crazy market! 🐴🎄❤️

Stop by my booth and say hi 😁
Check out my presentations on the “Why” and the “How to” of Mindfulness with horses (Friday), and with Clicker Training (Saturday). Both practices enhance your equine partnership in awesome ways!

Hope to see you there!

This quote reminds me that even amidst these challenging times, there is always light and hope in the world, and blessings to be thankful for.

I'm grateful for family, friends, the joy of making new connections and the heart warming love we receive from our horses and pets.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with joy and peace. May you always have sunshine in your hearts. 🌞🌻🍁

This beautiful pony mule was certain she’d never go into a trailer again…

It was so wonderful to help out this fall, and experience the joy brought to many nursing homes by sharing the healing love of animals. The program is run by the AmericanHorseRescueNetwork.org
Thank you Daryl, Janelle, and Maddie for all you do! And of course many thanks to the amazing horses Dakota and Shadow, adorable Franklin the Duck, and the friendliest golden retrievers you’ll ever meet. 💞

Welcome to my page!

For years, I've had a deep passion for helping and training horses. Now, I'm thrilled to dedicate my life fully as a trainer and coach, for assisting people and their horses in discovering their greatest potential together, their Arete. [ah-reh-tay]

Using a combination of natural, at liberty, and positive horse training methods, complemented by supportive energy-based practices like Reiki, Emotion Code, and The Masterson Method Bladder Meridian Technique, my intention is always to understand and support the horse fully (mind, body, spirit) as they progress along their training journey.

Through empathic leadership and a holistic perspective, I'm wholeheartedly committed to guiding you and your horse on the path to Arete, where your fullest potential awaits.

Discover more about my approach and how I can assist you by following my page, visiting my website, and exploring my YouTube channel. Thank you for visiting!

Wishing you all the best 🐴💞
