Connected Horsemanship Philosophy:
At Connected Horsemanship we believe people need to be involved with their horse’s learning journey to create sustainable progress. I’ve had many students who previously sent their horses away for training (even to reputable trainers) who either cannot achieve the results the trainers did because they do not know how, or worse, tell me their horse was “ruined.” Being involved in your horse’s learning journey brings you into a deeper connection with your horse and ensures your horse is not mistreated during training. It also gives you the necessary skills to get maximum benefit from the training so you can confidently ride and enjoy your horse. The journey toward your horsemanship goals can be as rewarding as the result! We believe in meeting you and your horse where you are, empowering people and horses to work confidently and closely together to form a strong connection, and helping you “click forward,” enabling you to reach your goals.
