Teaching Philosophy
I never want to diminish the innate passion that students have for being around horses. That’s why I strive to foster an environment that emphasizes ethical horsemanship and creates a positive, supportive space for my students.  My goal is to make learning both exciting and meaningful. In the classroom, I focus on teaching practical life skills that will help students succeed in the real world and become valuable contributors to the equine industry. I aim to leave a lasting impact by empowering my students to pursue their passions and become lifelong learners.

​

Training Philosophy 

My goal is to develop horses that are confident in their foundational skills so they can progress with calm assurance throughout their training. I strive to produce horses that enjoy their work while meeting breed and industry standards, with all training practices aligned thoughtfully with current judging criteria.
