Lotus Horsemanship

Here, everything centers on connection – with horses, with ourselves, and ultimately with all of nature.  We work and play from the viewpoint that all beings are equal; when we approach horse training this way, magic happens naturally as we partner with another mammal who is almost ten times our size.

Keeping a horse engaged with us, without using force, requires ingenuity and courage.  I specialize in helping people and horses unleash their confidence and creativity. If you work with me, you’ll find yourself resolving problems and doing things with horses that you never thought you’d be able to do – and you’ll experience transformation in yourself as well.

Mindfulness and self-compassion are intrinsic to deepening our horsemanship skills.  Self-compassion is an essential concept that’s not talked about enough, nor taught enough in our world…but it’s one of the keys to happiness.  My program is centered around developing our self-compassion and extending compassion and understanding to horses. This changes our relationship to horses, and to everyone else, too.

I’m committed to excellence in every aspect of my work: setting concrete, achievable goals with horse and human clients; listening and communicating clearly; aiming high in terms of what you want to learn and achieve; attending to details; and providing well-researched practices to help you safely progress to new heights.
