Ride Effortlessly

Supportive, specialized training to build a strong connection between horse and rider. Located at Circle Oak Ranch in Petaluma, California.

A Holistic Approach

One of the key tensions in horse training is the balance between honoring the horse’s intelligence and autonomy while still achieving optimal performance and partnership. Without this balance, owners often find their horses struggling with:

  • Physical or emotional discomfort

  • An inability to learn new skills and behaviors

  • Fight, flight, or freeze mentality

As a result, owners often feel frustrated that their horse isn’t performing. A good trainer will work to alleviate these issues with a holistic approach that builds a safe, competent, thriving companion.
