My background: I have been professionally teaching horsemanship for over 20 years and am a former licensed Parelli Professional. I resigned in December 2021 after 10 years of teaching under Pat Parelli's program to pursue teaching horsemanship on my own with a strong focus on helping horses work through trauma and negative behavioral problems. I am also a CHA (Certified Horsemanship Association) instructor and carry a B.S. degree in Equine Science. I can assist with other types of horsemanship coaching from goal setting, preparing to own your first horse and readying for competition.

I travel out to teach natural horsemanship lessons for students who want to learn to use psychology-based techniques instead of force or fear-based methods. I teach kids lessons on my own school horses as well as beginner adult lessons both on the ground and in the saddle. If you have your own horse, I travel out to teach in Central Oregon, mileage fees may apply. Please reach out to me to schedule private lessons, group lessons or clinics. I can accommodate groups up to 10 riders up to 3 days in length.... See More

At Big Star Ranch, our focus is not just riding, but the whole horse experience. Our students learn how to halter and lead their horse, groom, saddle and ride. But there is so much more to horses!

They also learn how to "read" their horse. Learning how horses communicate helps with so many other aspects of everyday life. Our students learn how to be a better friend, increase their coordination, learn creative problem solving, better their communication skills, and see how they impact their world.

Some of our students are here for the physical benefits. Riding and working with horses can build core strength, muscles, flexibility and coordination.

We welcome those with ADD, ADHD, CP,Learning challanges, teens, no experience necessary.... See More

I teach French Classical equitation offering both mounted lessons and work in hand (the old classical ground work, including longe work). I also teach the old French cavalry seatwork, developing balance for riders in ANY discipline- we all need great balance! It's 'non-denominational'. I'm accredited as a teacher with the Foundation for the Equestrian Arts, and have taught lessons and clinics across the US and internationally. My teaching is friendly and supportive, I'm good at drawing out the useful, thinking mind in riders who are too much in their heart, and the feel and connection in riders too stuck in their heads. And with years of studying the old masters I'm great at helping you make sense of WHY we do what we do. This older way of working is pleasant for the horse as well as for the rider and it develops a wonderful riding horse in any discipline. The work not only doesn't damage the horse as many of our modern exhibition based disciplines do, it actually sets the horse up for a long, peaceful, healthy life under saddle. The work in hand helps heal horses recovering from injuries and supports horses no longer under saddle to live longer more healthy lives. I travel to teach regularly and am happy to set up a clinic or set of lessons at your barn anywhere in the US. I also offer regular study groups, reading the old literature and learning how it applies today. Students as young as 10 are welcome, and adults of any age and any experience level from beginner to professional. "There's no such thing as advanced riding, there's only beginning riding done more and more perfectly." Come play.... See More
