Do you want to deepen the bond with your horse and feel a stronger connection?

Do you want to enhance your communication and truly understand your equine companion?

Hi, I’m Joan and I can help!

I love horses and I love people, and my greatest joy is helping them connect in a way that goes beyond just horse and rider—to becoming friends.

It's been my privilege to work with competitive riders, non-competitive riders, and horse people who don't ride at all, and to see their connection deepen--and their performance improve, whatever their chosen endeavor!

As a longtime trainer, USDF Silver Medalist, graduate of the USHJA Trainer Certification Program, and certified Equine-Partnered Coach, I look forward to this for you and your special equine companion, too.

You can learn more about me HERE.
