My professional experience and unique approach will provide the traction necessary for equestrias to hit the ground running. I personally work with each trainee to help them achieve their individual goals. I push, but I also motivate.

A Bit About Me
Your Horse Riding Coach
Based out of the PNW I have over 10 years experience working, and training horses. While specializing in starting horses from a clean slate, and horses that just need a second chance in life, I found that sometimes us humans need a second chance as well, so I specialize in beginner riders as well as seasoned riders and riders who need a help getting back into the saddle again.
Being raised around horses it is obvious where my main passion lays, by a very early age I started riding, it wasn't until in my teens did I start working with horses, on a training level. When given the chance to work with a horse that many deemed untrainable did I find my passion in training. Since than I have started giving lessons to those who wanted to find the wonder and love in horses, and by helping these students I wanted to give them a foundation that wouldn't crumble, to help the rider and horse have a friendship that only time could separate.
I currently own a wonderful Welsh pony gelding, that I have owned since he was 2 years old (now going on 12). Tony and I do almost everything we can, we have gone to trail competitions, mounted shooting clinics, cow sorting play days, we jump, do mounted archery, tricks and liberty!
While horses are the largest passion for me, I also enjoys all forms of art and practices in wood burning, painting, photography, and drawing. If I'm not at the barn, there is a good chance you could find me working on my art, or out enjoying nature.

Everything You Need to Know
How are you different from other trainers?
Through my years of experience working with horses, I found that not all horses and students learn the same way. I don't hold a certain curriculum to have my students achieve their goals, but rather I create a custom curriculum for ever individual student, and sometimes that means creating one for the student and one for the horse.Most of my experience comes from being self taught, or I should say from working with the horses. I learned to listen to what the horse has to say rather than an instructor, as I found that not everything I would learn from someone would work on my own individual horses, but I still stored that information, until it is needed.
Do I need to be at a certain athletic level to train with Riding with Passion?
That's the best thing! I love working with students of all levels, if we are able to communicate clearly to each other through zoom than we will be able to work together!
How does online classes work?
After a free consultation, I have you video your ride, or what you are currently working on, you than send me the video to which I go over before our first lesson via zoom. We go over on what can be improved and what could be worked on. At the end of our lesson I send you with exercise and a plan to work on till our next lesson.
Payment and packages
Payment will be done through Venmo at this time.
While many of my lessons are one session at a time, I do offer packages of four for $90 though these packages can be custom to your needs, this can be discussed during your free consultation or after our lesson.
