Our horse psychology course takes a look at how horses naturally think, communicate and learn. Here, we learn how to see things from their perspective.

Concepts in Connection is about Cantata, an Andalusian mare, who is my personal horse that came into my life in 2017. While teaching a clinic in Ohio, a friend of mine said she had a horse she wanted me to meet.

Knowing my passion for horse psychology, she felt her and I would be a great match. This course documents much of our early stages together.

Our Colt Starting Course tracks the first week we spent with Gus, an untouched 3 year old colt from the 6666's ranch. In 2014, I got to compete as a Wild Card for Road to the Horse, a world-renowned colt starting competition. As a Wild Card, we got to take home an untouched 3 year old colt and train them for 1 year to compete in a Ranch Riding competition to get into the weekend colt starting competition. Gus was my 3 year old, and this was his first week.
