Horses were always on my mind. As a city kid I imagined a life with them, sparked by books and TV. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I had the opportunity to really be with horses. I started to take riding lessons, my logical mind telling me that was the only reason to be with horses. I felt disappointed in myself that I didn’t love riding.
A friend introduced me to The Tao of Equus, by Linda Kohanov and a whole new world opened to me. Instead of seeing horses as an animal to learn to stay on top of I learned about the sentient being the horse is; and how it can guide us to get in-tune with our authentic self. The universe aligned.
My work with horses also helped my parenting skills, interpersonal skills with family, friends and coworkers in this complicated culture. I felt happier, healthier and more balanced than I ever had.
My experience with horses combined with my education and career in Human Service has brought me to this spot where I am today. I have a small herd of horses that I live with and I am honored to offer the opportunity for others to come and experience what the power of the horse can do for them.

I have had a passion for horses since I was 2 years old. They spoke to me in a way that no human ever has.
I am a dedicated dressage rider with an emphasis on being invested in listening to the horse and creating a connection and partnership. I love how they share their knowledge with us and how much they have to offer in connection with our emotions. Learning their language is magical. I am honored to live in their presence and share our horse world with others.
I am raising a young horse who j=has been blind since birth. It is a very interesting experience that I am learning from.
Education : Graduated from Michigan State University in Horse Management.
