Whole Heart Equestrian

Whole Heart Equestrian was built on a simple belief: how you show up matters. And that belief starts with me.

As the head coach and trainer at Whole Heart Equestrian, my role goes far beyond teaching riders how to jump higher or ride more accurately. My responsibility is to develop thoughtful, capable horsemen and horsewomen — riders who understand not just what to do, but why they’re doing it.

I believe:

– Every ride is a training ride.

– Horses deserve clarity, consistency, and fairness.

– Confidence is built through preparation — not pressure.

– The best results come from building true partnerships between horse and rider.

My coaching is grounded in progressive fundamentals, horse-and-rider biomechanics, and developmental frameworks that support both learning and performance. I care deeply about developing riders who can think, adjust, and advocate for their horses — whether schooling at home or walking into the show ring.
