Would you like a relationship built ON TRUST, cooperation and mutual respect, using fear free, force free training and methodologies? If your answer is “yes,” I am the trainer for you.

Behavior Issues

  • Aggression towards people or other animals

  • Fear of objects, people, or other animals

  • Stereotypic behaviors such as cribbing, wind sucking, weaving, box walking, pawing, self-mutilation and wood chewing

  • Anxiety and lack of trust, especially for rescued horses and/or previously abused or neglected horses. But even for horses who have been trained with heavy handed traditional horse training methods

Husbandry Training

  • Help with fear issues and lack of trust with humans around tacking and care

  • Is your horse recovering from a medical procedure? I can help teach your horse a stretch routine

  • Does your horse dread haltering, saddling, fly masks, hoof picking, shoeing, and other husbandry procedures? I can make it fun with cooperative care and start buttons

  • Would you like your horse to stand calmly for tacking and handling without tying or punishment for moving away?

  • I can teach your horse to come when called, back up when needed, not crowd you when coming through the gate, or mug you for food

Enrichment 

  • I can teach fun, cognitive games and tricks which will benefit your horse mentally, physically, and emotionally
