Why it Matters - for you and your horse
When your nervous system is overwhelmed, so is your horse’s.
And neuroscience tells us: no one, horse or human, can learn or concentrate in a state of stress.
You are not failing.
You are likely carrying too much—and your horse feels it all.
Let’s change the story.
Let’s start with understanding.
Because this isn’t horse training. It’s healing.
For both of you.
Why I do this Work
Because It’s not just about the horse. It never was.
Maybe you’re feeling anxious.
Overwhelmed.
Or like you’re getting everything wrong — with your horse, or with life.
You love them deeply. You want to do right by them.
But still... things feel hard. And confusing.
I have been there. I was there!
It became so bad I couldn't ride my horse.
They told me to sell her, I'd never ride her again.
It was the last thing I wanted to hear.
I loved her. I would never part with her.
I had to find a way!
I did, but it took a long time and a lot of wasted happpiness spent worrying.
Now I want to help others people in this position understand what it took me years to learn.
A horse — or a human — cannot learn or even concentrate properly while in a state of stress.
That's not just words, It's neuroscience!
We have to become calm, focused and clear leaders, for our horses to feel safe and relaxed around us.
You are not failing your horse, you are trying to survive a high pressure world
You need help and support, not to be told to push through your fear, and your horses.
That’s where I come in.
I help you gently unravel the pressure, the stories, the lies, the old habits that no longer serve you or your horse.
I help you find your own truth and be strong enough to stand in that truth.
To believe in yourself and your decisions.
For your horse and within your life.
Then your nervous system can soften. So you can breathe again.
And then your horse doesn’t have to carry your stress and their own.
For every horse lover who's ever wondered...
"Is it me?" — You're not alone.

Take the Reins — Of Your Life
At 46, a horse named Dolly changed everything.
She showed me that the deepest connection with a horse begins when we start listening — to them, and to ourselves. She helped me see that true leadership isn’t about control — it’s about trust, clarity, and showing up with heart.
I know what it’s like to feel lost. I’ve come through depression, controlling relationships, and a lifetime of trying to do things the “right” way — including with horses. It wasn’t until I let go of old beliefs and began rebuilding from the inside out that I found a way forward. And Dolly was right there beside me.
When we become more grounded, more emotionally aware, and more aligned with who we really are, our horses notice. They feel safer. They want to connect.
That’s the magic of inner work — it doesn’t just change you. It transforms your relationship with your horse.
So if you're a horse owner longing for something deeper — a partnership built on mutual respect, choice, and understanding — you're not alone.
I offer empowerment coaching designed especially for people like you: kind-hearted, open-minded horse lovers ready to lead differently — from the inside out.
Not ready for coaching yet? That’s okay. You’ll also find free self-help resources here, inspired by lessons Dolly taught me. Real change happens one step at a time.
Because true leadership — the kind your horse will trust — begins with listening, not forcing
