Good riding starts on the ground

At Kindred Souls Equestrian, we emphasize ground training for total equine health. We use positive reinforcement methods to teach horses how to learn and build their confidence and core strength. The result is stronger, more relaxed and happier horses for any activities you wish to pursue with your equine partner.

About me

I'm a lifelong equestrian, probably a lot like you. I grew up riding in Pony Club and after taking a break from riding and horses to get my career started, I switched to dressage. My first horse and I competed locally in low level classes, but he was always kind of shut down, and not really motivated or excited for our work together. I started to ask why, and that started me on my journey. My mentors and inspiration include

Ride With Your Mind Rider Biomechanics techniques
Cooperative Horsemanship with Bob Ciri
Classical Dressage
Horse - Human Connection

By far the most influential change to my horsemanship occurred when I encountered positive reinforcement training techniques. Once I tried this with my horse, he came alive and we never looked back.

Since then I have employed positive reinforcement with horses to improve ground handling, posture, liberty and rider-positive behaviors. Contact me to see if I can share what I know to benefit you and your equine partner.
