Hi, I’m Hannah!
I’m a lifelong student of the horse. They’ve been teaching me horsemanship (and life) skills since my first riding lesson nearly 25 years ago. Since then I’ve managed stables, taught riding lessons, worked with yearlings and young horses, and even restarted an off-the-track racehorse in New Zealand.
My goal is to help humans and their equine partners communicate more effectively to establish a more trusting relationship, while also restoring physical balance and nervous system health to promote relaxation and functional movement. My “equine-first” approach is rooted in empathy, and listening to our horses. I believe horses naturally seek peace, and in my experience, when we can reach out to offer this to our partners without force or fear, they’ll reach back ten times over! The result is a more willing, healthy and safe partner.
I also believe horse training is people training. It takes personal development to connect with a horse (or any animal, for that matter). The pursuit of this connection will change your life, as it has mine. If you’re ready to explore your connection with your horse, or are struggling with behavioral or performance challenges, let’s connect!
