Horse Experience
My life has always been about the love of horses and the joy of riding. My years of experience with horses helps me to understand their behavior, and to be conscious of safety as I handle them with calmness, sensitivity and respect.
Healing
Having owned, leased, cared for and worked on horses for many years, I have seen how beneficial gentle body work is for horses. In addition, treating riders along with their horses is helpful in creating harmonious relationships between horses and riders and increasing physical comfort and easing stress. TER is a gentle, effective, holistic component of care.
