Upstream Horsemanship "Helping horses and humans work better, together." In 2022 she became a member of the steering committee for the board of The Best Horse Practices Summit.

Allana has been around horses her entire life and graduated from Otterbein with a degree in Equine Science and Equine Assisted Therapies in 2018. In 2019 she became an Equine Acupressure and Massage Therapist, and integrates these bodywork methods into her training. Over the years she has developed her approach to training horses around the belief that through mindfulness, perpetual education, and willingness to hear what the horse has to say we can create an environment where horses actively participate in their jobs and work together with the rider to achieve their goals. Allana's primary goal as a trainer is to help clients create a fluid partnership founded in communication and mutual benefit that redefines the boundaries of what is possible between horse and rider.

FOR CONSIDERATION
Putting feelers out for my mare, Crown Jewel (Cabalito x Gandina WH)
2015 Oldenburg Mare 16.3hh
"Toast" is a sweet, smart mare with lots of athleticism and a great attitude. She is a jack of all trades (but master of none) having done dressage, jumping, trails, cow work, working equitation, and has a heavy liberty foundation. She currently gets ridden once or twice a week by me and a novice rider, and is a therapy horse (which she loves) She does well with a confident rider that is able to communicate clearly and fairly what they want from her. She has a great drive to work with her rider, she just doesn't like to be bossed around. She is a very light, sensitive ride without being reactive. She rides primarily from the seat and we've done plenty of bridleless work in the past.

I am traveling internationally for an indeterminate amount of time, and I am looking for an ideal person to take her on until my life settles a bit. I am ideally looking for someone to full lease her, and would be open to a lease to own for the perfect situation. She has a great pedigree with 10 full siblings that have been very successful in the hunter and dressage rings. She has lovely movement, and is a pleasure to ride, and is the same horse whether she's ridden daily or been sitting for a year. With time I believe she'd be a steady eddie. I would also be open to a broodmare lease, as she is currently a maiden and I planned to breed her but life is going in a different direction for me. She has the title of Premium Mare and placed as the top scoring mare at her Broodmare Inspection. I believe she will be a wonderful mother, and has been in herds with youngsters that she's taken under her wing.
Toast is my heart horse so my priority is to find the perfect person for her. She is located in Pataskala, Ohio and could continue to be boarded where she's at now, but I would consider an offsite for the perfect situation.

I am offering up Toast for a partial lease!
Toast is a 16.3ish Oldenburg mare with a big personality and lots to give to the right person. she's dabbled in a little bit of everything; dressage, jumping, trail, cattle sorting, working equitation, liberty, etc. She's been out of consistent work for a while, but is the same every time you get on her no matter how long she's been sitting. She is currently being ridden about once a week. I am ideally looking for someone who would like to ride her approximately 3x a week.

Toast is a very honest ride, and a little goes a long way with her. She is ridden mostly through the seat and leg, has some fancy buttons and naturally seeks balance and harmony with her rider. If she bonds with her person, she really loves to work and will give you her all. She has a lot of buttons and requires a gentle but confident rider with an independent seat. She will not do well with someone who struggles to emotionally regulate themselves. Toast is pretty brave and doesn't spook much, but she needs a rider that can laugh off the occasional buck or small spook.

She's located on a private farm in Pataskala with 20 acres of trails on site and several great people to ride with. I'm very amenable on her lease fee and ride times, as my priority is to find the perfect person. I will require that any interested party take a lesson with me prior to signing a lease agreement to make sure it is a good fit. There is opportunity to work off some, if not all of her lease fee.
