It's been a long time since I've been active with horse training, and I wanted to share why.

Over the last year, I've been focused on healing after a serious injury, along with managing chronic pain from arthritis in my chronically unstable ankle, a weakened right knee from torn ligaments, and SI joint dysfunction that I've been dealing with since I was 17. Apparently, the entire right side of my body decided try to force me into early retirement. 😅 My accident then added a badly dislocated shoulder, a broken bone, and a concussion to the list.

Recovery has been a long road, and while I'm still not able to travel or train in person like I used to, I'm finally at a point where I can start helping people again—and I'm incredibly excited about it.

🐴 I'm now offering one-on-one virtual horse training and coaching sessions!

If you're struggling with groundwork, behavioural issues, confidence building, trailer loading, desensitization, starting young horses, or simply want an experienced second set of eyes, I'd love to help. I also specialize in working with wild and untouched horses and can help you build the connection and understanding you've been searching for with your equine partner.

During a live video call, I'll watch you work with your horse, provide real-time feedback, answer your questions, and create exercises tailored to both you and your horse's individual needs.

You don't have to be local—if you have a phone and an internet connection, we can work together from anywhere.

Thank you to everyone who has been patient and supportive throughout my recovery. It means more than you know. ❤️

For now, while I'm managing chronic pain from injuries I've accumulated over the years, virtual coaching is the best way for me to continue helping the horse community. My goal has always been to help both horses and the people who love them, and I'm excited to be able to share my knowledge and experience with the next generation of horse owners and trainers. I do hope to return to training horses in person in the future, but this is the next step in my journey.

If you think you—or someone you know—could benefit from virtual coaching, I'd love to hear from you!

I can't wait to get back to doing what I love. 💜

From trainee to helping the trainer! Bruno has made a lot of progress from being a tense and anxious horse when he first arrived! He's now helping me pony this months starts out with the utmost confidence and helping them become confident that much quicker. 😁

3yo Canadian gelding Illusion is out doing big boy things with his first big solo trail ride. This guy is so naturally curious I knew he'd love getting out to see new things! Proud of this guys progress. Turned from a fiesty piranha into quite the gentleman. :)

New training boy, Illusion the Canadian 3yo, is such a ham! Anything new I show him he loves to investigate with his mouth.

This is a good opportunity to point out that because horses do not have hands like us, this is the way some like to explore new things. As long as they are not chewing on you; don't discourage it to start with! There will come a time in his training where we address that he's not allowed to chew on certain things but right now while we are learning one another and he is experiencing a lot of new things I will allow him to use his natural instincts to explore things however he wants and encourage that natural curiosity so he can become brave and confident!(while also making sure he doesn't actually eat any of the things he's chewing on! Lol)

From a little baby I saved from slaughter and raised to a 15.3hh gelding that I am starting under saddle.
Where does the time go. 🥹
First one of my own I raised that I get to ride! Willie Nelson 💜

Little mare was all business for her first trail ride with a group. Went straight to the front and was super excited to go and explore! ❤
Confidence is key as always! 😁

Cheeka
12.2hh
Lightly started under saddle. Lots of exposure to all aspects of being a saddle horse.
Never bucked, bolted, reared etc.
At this point she has only been rode walk-trot. Leisure rides around the farm just to get her used to being rode.
Very brave as long as you are confident.
Not for beginner kids as she is still learning herself. I am listing her right now because I feel she's too small for me to finish.

Could be an awesome 4H or Pony Club project. Has been lunged over small jumps and had excellent form.

Message, text or call for more info.

"Jolene"
19yo QH mare
15.1hh
100% sound
No maintenance needed besides the regular stuff! (Farrier, teeth, etc.)

I have owned this lovely mare for almost 4yrs now. Pulled her from a meat pen when she was pregnant and she has given me two beautiful foals.

Incredibly sweet to be around. Loves attention, easy to catch and loves to bond with her person.
She is NOT broke to ride. I have sat on her a couple times just for fun but never started her due to being busy with client horses and colts.
There is no part of me that wants to part with her but unfortunately I need to downsize.

Shes great in the herd. Mid-high but not aggressive, just holds her own. Kind with the youngsters as well.

She would do great in a home on a hobby farm with at least one other horse where someone just wants to enjoy and love on her. She does like kids as well but again, not broke to ride. :)

She will go to an approved home only. There will be a very small rehoming fee (low 3 fig) to help me insure she finds a good home. It is negotiable to the right forever home though.

Text, call or message for more info or to come meet her! :)
