Do you dream of having a willing, safe horse you can confidently ride well?
With my horse and rider-centered approach to teaching and training, you'll learn everything you need to understand your horse, be safe, and build your relationship both on the ground and in the saddle.
Hi, I’m Marie,
lifelong horse-lover and firm believer that every problem has a solution.
My solution-driven approach to life, training, and teaching is what led me to become a Practitioner 2 of TTouch® (formerly TTEAM®) and learn to understand the horse’s nervous system and thought process. It's also the driver to my lifelong pursuit of understanding how a horse thinks as well as the impact we humans have on every aspect of time with the horse (both in and out of the saddle).
​
While the horse has been my greatest teacher, I’m grateful to have learned from many of the world’s best equine practitioners, including Ray Hunt, Linda Tellington Jones, Sally Swift, Wendy Murdoch, and Jane Savoie.
​
I’ve had the opportunity to train well over 1,000 horses from a variety of breeds (including gaited) and disciplines, instruct a variety of riding disciplines, and teach horsemanship to thousands of students over the years.
​
This doesn’t mean I have never been afraid. After being badly injured, I have felt the gut-wrenching fear that many professionals won’t admit to. And, most importantly, I've learned the tools to overcome that fear.
​
I’ve learned how to be both successful and safe with horses, and it’s my passion and life’s calling to share that with others.

The Amazing Maze
Improve your horse’s core strength, balance, develop equal musculature, confidence and focus the unfocused horse. With my exclusive training book, you'll be equipped with 29 pole patterns designed specifically to switch the horse’s brain from his or her sympathetic (instinctive) to parasympathetic (rest digest and learn) nervous system.

"I was a new to horses person when I met Marie, and now I am on to owning my third horse! Marie’s methods of bonding and building a strong relationship with my horse are absolutely my foundation."

“With her amazing skills of reading horse behavior and personality from looking at their faces and body language, Marie has helped me pick out or train about a dozen horses over the 20 years I've worked with her.”
