Hi! I’m Heather .
I consider myself a lifelong horsewoman, educator, role model, and athlete. Just as good riding starts with good horsemanship, being a good partner for your horse involves more than just riding well. I am invested in my horse’s and student’s well being both in and out of the saddle, and approach both athletes as a whole.
Happy, healthy, educated athletes with appropriate goals creates repeatable success. I’ve used this system to create confident horses who try hard for their riders and riders that are successful and competitive both in and out of the saddle.
