Hello

My Story

My horse journey began at age 6 with weekly riding lessons. By age 12, I shifted from competition to horsemanship, focusing on training challenging horses. Influenced by experts like Buck Brannaman, Ricky Quinn, and Joel Conner, I began training horses and teaching lessons full-time by age 15. This led to launching a rescue and rehabilitation program and collaborating with local veterinarians.

​

In 2012, I was introduced to Dr. Gerd Heuschmann and began training with him. His guidance transitioned me from a "cowboy seat" to classical dressage and ignited my interest in biomechanics, balance, and the wisdom of the old masters. This new perspective transformed my approach to training and riding. Now, I integrate the physical, mental, and emotional attributes of the horse into my work. By combining classical dressage principles, biomechanics, behavioral science, and horsemanship, I use proven methods to help horses and riders use their bodies correctly, communicate effectively, and deepen their partnership. My goal is to enhance the connection between horse and rider, creating an environment where both can thrive and reach their full potential.

​

I hold USDF Silver and Bronze Medals, having earned my Bronze medal scores in 2021 and my Silver medal in early 2023. Currently, I am excited to develop my two-year-old GOV filly and continue serving the Chester County equestrian community with my expertise in training and equine bodywork.
 

I am certified in multiple therapeutic modalities, including Magnawave PEMF, equine massage, neuromyofascial release, acupressure, kinesiology taping, therapeutic ultrasound, TENS therapy, and in-hand therapeutic groundwork. These qualifications enable me to tailor my work to each horse's unique needs, ensuring they achieve their full potential.
