Foundations & Starts

Whether your horse is just starting their journey or ready for their first ride, this is where the process begins — with trust, softness, and emotional clarity.

I offer two signature programs designed to meet your horse exactly where they are:

✦ The Willing Foundation — for groundwork, regulation, and early connection

✦ From Wild to Willing — for full saddle starting and first rides, built on trust

If you’re not sure where to begin, we’ll figure it out together.

This work moves at the speed of safety — and every horse tells us what they’re ready for.

The Willing Foundation

For young horses, green horses, or those needing a fresh start

These sessions are designed to create a safe, balanced, and emotionally grounded foundation for horses at the start of their journey. Whether your horse is brand new to training or needs a reset, this groundwork-based approach focuses on confidence, communication, and connection — without rushing or force.

Using a blend of intuitive awareness, energy attunement, and practical horsemanship, I help your horse feel seen, safe, and set up for success in whatever comes next.

Why Foundations Matter:

Every horse deserves a beginning that honors their nervous system, spirit, and individuality. When young or inexperienced horses are overwhelmed, misunderstood, or pushed too fast, it can create long-term challenges like:

  • Resistance or fear around handling

  • Trouble with trailer loading, tying, or standing

  • Anxiety, shutdown, or reactivity under pressure

  • Difficulty trusting or connecting with people

By focusing on emotional clarity and body awareness, we build a foundation that lasts — one that helps your horse move forward with confidence, not confusion

Session Benefits:

  • Creates a grounded, confident partnership from the start

  • Supports emotional regulation and mental clarity

  • Helps prevent future behavioral and trust issues

  • Builds a responsive, respectful relationship without domination

  • Transfers naturally into future training or riding

What’s Included:

Foundations Training is a 6-week in-hand program that includes:

  • 3-5 sessions per week of hands-on groundwork and exposure

  • Haltering, leading, grooming, tying, trailer loading, and more

  • Energetic support to regulate the nervous system and clear tension

  • Optional energy healing or communication when needed

  • Weekly owner participation to help build skills and transfer learning.

Each horse receives an individualized plan based on their background, temperament, and goals. Additional weeks may be added as needed.

An Energetic, Heart-Led Approach

This is more than basic training. It’s a whole-horse, whole-heart experience that honors the horse’s body, mind, and energy. The result? A partner who feels safe, connected, and confident — from the ground up.

From Wild to Willing

For young horses ready to move from groundwork into their first saddle experiences

This 8-week colt starting program is designed for horses who are ready to move beyond foundational groundwork and begin their journey under saddle — slowly, intuitively, and with full-body/mind/soul support.

Whether your colt has completed my Foundations Training or is starting fresh, these sessions offer a heart-led introduction to saddle work that emphasizes trust, softness, and body awareness. We move at the horse’s pace — ensuring they’re emotionally and physically ready every step of the way.

Why a Gentle Start Matters:

The first saddle experiences shape how a horse feels about riding for the rest of their life. When rushed or disconnected, it can lead to:

  • Anxiety around mounting or movement

  • Resistance to rider aids or equipment

  • Emotional shutdown or dangerous reactions

  • Lasting fear-based patterns under saddle

This program helps your horse feel safe, seen, and supported — so they choose to participate, rather than being forced to perform.

Session Benefits:

  • Builds confidence under saddle, not just tolerance

  • Helps prevent resistance, reactivity, or anxiety later on

  • Strengthens the body-mind connection through intuitive work

  • Establishes clear, kind communication with humans

  • Creates a confident partner for trail, arena, or show life

What’s Included:

The Colt Starting Program is an 8-week experience combining groundwork and riding:

  • Weeks 1–5: In-hand groundwork, desensitization, exposure, trust-building

  • Weeks 6–8: Saddle and bridle introduction, mounting, walk/trot under saddle

  • Energy support and communication included throughout

  • 5 sessions per week to ensure consistency

  • Optional energy healing or communication when needed

  • Weekly owner participation to help build skills and transfer learning.

A Conscious, Intuitive Start

This isn’t just about making a horse “rideable.” It’s about honoring their body, nervous system, and spirit as they take their first steps into partnership. When horses are started with heart, they become lifelong partners — grounded, willing, and connected.
