My Journey…

Well, I’ve been crazy about horses ever since I can remember and I’m pretty sure I got the horse bug from my grandfather, who rode Lippazans in the Calvary. He was an amazing horseman!

In 1995 I got involved with the Parelli Natural Horsemanship program. As a PNH student instructor, I began coaching and helping students communicate with their horses.

After several years of watching and helping people with their horses in the PNH program, I felt like there was a better way to communicate with horses. I saw horses getting frustrated and being forced to do things using force, fear, and intimidation I knew from personal experience that it didn’t need to be that way.

I went on a quest to find a better way for people to be able to communicate with and train their horses.

What I found was something called “Clicker Training”. I found that a lot of people use clicker training to teach horses tricks but for me, it became a powerful communication tool that could be used to improve the horse’s performance in a shorter period of time.

Clicker training made a huge difference with all 11 of my horses, my miniature donkey, and my client’s horses. There was no turning back they all loved it and responded really well.

I began to develop a system that incorporates positive reinforcement training with the Passionate Horsemanship holistic methods so my students can get amazing results with their horses.

  • My students have been able to get the results they want easily in a shorter period of time.
  • My students and their horses have become more confident.
  • My students have saved time and money by not having to send their horse off to a trainer.
  • My students develop a deeper bond with their horse.

I enjoy teaching these methods to even more people through my online and in-person training programs.

I truly believe that you can easily learn these methods I teach, and my passion lies in helping you to effectively communicate with your horse, gain more confidence, and get the results you want without using force, fear or intimidation.
