Hello! I’m Desiree. I’m a professional equestrian of over 35 years; a USDF and USCTA Bronze Medalist; a Certified Professional Life Coach & Performance Mastery Specialist; a mother, military spouse, and woman of faith.

In the saddle I help riders overcome blocks and challenges that limits the partnership and potential they have with their horse keeping them from having confidence on the ground and while riding, to become a mindful horseman who is capable of handling any situation through a safe and trusting partnership while maximizing their performance.

Out of the saddle I help people identify and overcome obstacles that create stress, anxiety, and overwhelm that keep them from showing up as their best self whether it’s in the show ring, workplace, or home, to feel more confident, experience success, and live the best life possible.

As your coach, you have several options for us to work together:

1. EQUESTRIAN COACHING: An equine educational and riding program.
2. LIFE COACHING with HORSES: An equine-based life coaching program.
3. MINDFUL LIVING: A virtual life coaching program.

EQUESTRIAN COACHING
What would it feel like to have a deep and trusting partnership with your horse where you felt safe, confident, and capable of handling any situation both on the ground and in the saddle? What would be different if you established clear communication, had exercises and tools you could turn to, and were able to avoid unnecessary complications with your horse?

As an Equestrian & Performance Mindset Coach, I believe there is more to working with horses and riders than winning ribbons. I believe strongly in creating a deep and trusting relationship between you and your equine partner from the ground up. This means a complete education to become a mindful horseman, not just a horse owner/rider.

As a mindful horseman:
• You’ll learn about basic horse care, tack fitting/care, and trailer safety.
• You’ll learn about rider safety from the ground up with a focus on your balance, coordination, and strength.
• You’ll learn how to understand your horse’s energy and way of communicating.
• You’ll learn how to be more intuitive.
• You’ll gain more awareness of how your energy and mindset influences your horse.
• And you’ll learn how to establish safety and partnership in everything you do.

In our work together, I bring an array of tools to help you take your riding and partnership with your horse to the next level. Having an open mind and admitting there is always room from improvement is the first step to discovering the unlimited scope of what you can accomplish with your horse. I believe in the potential of every horse and rider and am here to help you reach yours.
Please contact me for more information or to set up a time for you to audit a training session, ask questions, assess your goals and discuss how my program can help you.

Equestrian Coaching: $75 / 45-minute private lesson

LIFE COACHING with HORSES
What would it feel like to experience a uniquely designed “horse guided” life coaching program where the horse offers a safe place for you to explore questions, gain personal insight, and set goals? How would it feel to interact with the horse as you experience deep profound transformation through their intuitive and honest feedback? What would be different if you got out of the client chair and into self-exploration through a gentle, supportive and interactive way?

Life Coaching with Horses is a unique approach to coaching that provides a safe place for you to:

• release stress
• let go of overwhelm

In our work together you will find someone who is compassionate, understanding, and patient as we walk together through your journey. Things take time. There’s no rush to this process and the horse knows that. If you’re looking for a unique approach to coaching, LIFE COACHING with HORSES is for you. (This is an “off the horse” program.)

LIFE COACHING with HORSES: $75 / 45-minute private session
(group workshops available)

MINDFUL LIVING
A virtual group coaching program that offers continued support to those who participate in Life Coaching with Horses, and for anyone wanting to release stress, let go of overwhelm, feel more confident, have more energy, and gain the mental fitness tools to help you live the best life possible.

NOTE FROM TRAINER:
Choosing a trainer/ teacher is the key to your foundational development as an equine lover. Classical form incorporated with basic simple militant routines and systems will aid you through to the best performance you can pull out of you and your mount daily with room for growth with grace.

You will learn three gates, which each movement is called and the simple art of equine communication between horse and rider without words.

Truly to become one with your animal and breathe in that equine cadence beat one hoof step at a time.

How do you win your mount over and become someone they trust and love?

It’s an equine affair… truly horsey fever and you know when you have it :)

I’d love to aid you on your journey.... See More

At PLEM we only have one or two spots available to a child or adult with previous or current riding experience and if they are interested in showing in local (inexpensive) shows in our area it is a plus! Our riding lessons include English on the flat and hunter/jumper. This includes teaching proper horse handling, grooming, tacking, barn maintenance, equine anatomy and vocabulary, as well as equine vet and health care. Teaching proper horsemanship not only prepares our students for horse ownership, but also teaches the life lessons of hard work, responsibility and the importance of caring for animals. We train riders and horses to work together so they have fun and are safe. Fun and Safety are our goals. We also have several lease or partial lease options available depending on experience and riding preference.

We strongly believe in teaching our students how to safely, effectively, and clearly communicate with their horses in the saddle and on the ground, and to take responsibility for the horses they ride, treating them with kindness, consideration, and respect.

Lessons include instruction on grooming, tacking-up, horse care and management. We also have a under cover arena so weather does not "normally" affect the lesson schedule, and it helps from the hot summer heat to keep us cool and on rainy days.

In the saddle, students focus on developing balance and using their weight ("seat") to communicate with the horse. Students use the escalation of aids to obtain the softest response from their horse with the least amount of pressure. Our goal is for all students to gain a solid foundation of skills that will transfer to any kind of riding they wish to pursue. Lesson Packages and Gift Certificates Available.... See More
