Dressage Training in Oregon

Hello, my name is Lila and my soul is bonded to horses. If you are seeking to connect with horses and learn to be with around and learn FROM them horses It is worth giving me a call. I started in classical dressage and got disappointed with where it seem to be going. The relationship with my horse suffered as I began to view him more as a vehicle for me ego and my dreams. Since then I have evolved to working with women to understand their relationship with their horse and how to create the foundation for all of their pursuits with horses. I teach conscious horse"womanship"ship in a safe connected and profound way. I teach the process and method and practice of being in harmony with, rather than against, the horse. I offer a safe place to learn and evolve as an equestrian and a human being.

•Learn how to create a magical bond with horses that
leads to profound respect and willing performance
instead of reluctant compliance.

•Experience a gentle beginning for newbie’s or women
getting reacquainted with horses after years away.

•Discover a philosophy of fun and connection with a
horses and riding in any discipline for pleasure,
fitness and relaxation.

•Become prepared for the joys of relationship with horses and eventual horse ownership.

•Learn about horses psychology and how to become a
trusted partner.

I offer private and group sessions and as intensives. see www.holyhorseencounters.com Join me at my private ranch location in beautiful Southern Oregon, just a few miles from the Freeway in Ashland, Oregon.

If the horses are calling you, If you are looking for connection, an outlet for self growth, relaxation, fitness and accomplishment together with horses. Then I offer a path for you and a place to begin your journey…or to start again.

ABOUT ME: I started with beautiful classical dressage training, and on my long journey to get to work and play with horses full time and share their beauty, mystery and magic with others, I have had many stops along the way. I have exposed myself to all kinds of learning, disciplines, and philosophy’s when it comes to training, riding and keeping horses which gives me a broad and varied understanding and empathy for these creatures we are magnetically drawn to.

Today our human need for achieving, making a competition out of things, and putting lots of money and ego at stake, ads different flavors to what most of us have offered to us when it comes studying dressage.

It appears to me, that many riders who at first began riding for the beauty and love of it have lost the joy they once got from it. And in pursuit of “winning” and competing they have lost whole-heartedness and kindness when it comes to the horses. This is a sad reality that brings challenges for people and their horses.

We have lost touch with harmony, unity and joy, instead seeking the "better horse", the "better trainer the "win". So much misunderstanding and confusion specially the horses who get cast out for lack of compliance or understanding.

I am the perfect trainer/coach for the horse lover who wants to ENJOY THE BENEFITS of being in partnership with horses for fun, relaxation, and personal growth.

I specialize in giving people a foundation that focuses on the relationship between human and horse. One that celebrates the joy and connection that people want with their horses and how they want to FEEL. I help you to keep balance and perspective as things move, progress, grow and change. I offer a nurturing, supportive touch point and place to grow your equestrian pursuits.

I am a gifted teacher and coach for people who want to find enjoyment, harmony and connection with horses. There is the perfect instructor and guide for everyone. The important thing as you begin is to gain a clear picture if which direction you are called to go.

I would love to speak with you and share horses with you. To teach you to become trusted partner in the process of whatever riding discipline you chose.

Please CALL ME to schedule an introductory session.
