Behavior consulting is for any horse-and-human partnership that feels stuck, stressed, or out of sync. Some of the things I help with include:

• Spookiness and reactivity — learning how to read triggers and help your horse find calm in the moment.

• Anxiety — building confidence and safety in herd-bound horses, weavers, cribbers, pacers, stall-walkers, kicking, biting, rearing - please keep in mind lifestyle changes will likely be suggested. We will work with you on this - don’t panic!

• Resistance under saddle — understanding what your horse’s body or mind might be trying to say, instead of pushing through it.

• Shut-down or “quiet” horses — recognizing when stillness is really stress, and finding ways to bring them back into honest connection.

• Tension around handling or grooming — using touch and energy practices to create a sense of safety and ease.

• Horses with big opinions — finding a middle ground that honors their personality while creating boundaries you both understand.

All horses must have a current veterinary clearance before beginning behavior work. Even with clearance, we may suggest further diagnostics if pain or medical concerns are suspected. We never diagnose — our role is to support behavior and connection, while your vet handles the medical side.

No matter the behavior, the process always begins the same way: slow down, listen, and respond with presence. From there, we create a plan that builds safety, trust, and lasting change without force.

If you have an aggressive horse, we will ask to work in protected contact until we make some progress. Over any fence, stall door, or round pen is fine! We prefer to dodge the kicks and nips, we hope you understand!
