Compassionate. Intuitive. Empowered.
Horsemanship for the Modern Equestrian
Joy is an AID. Use it.
Connection with your horse doesn’t require starting over—it starts with showing your JOY 😊
You’re here because you love your horse, and you love to ride. But let’s be honest—sometimes it doesn’t feel like enough. Frustration sets in. Fear whispers, “Am I doing the right thing?"
If you are an equestrian who likes to overthink everything, I see you. I’ve been where you are.
You can find confidence, clarity, and connection with your horse.

At Equus Enlightened, we know the weight of being an equestrian and caring for your horse.
Am I meeting my horse’s needs?
You’ve seen your horse thrive under a trainer, only to lose that progress once they’re home. It’s frustrating, and it feels like you’re taking two steps back for every one step forward.
Does my horse even understand what I want?
You want to connect with your horse on a deeper level, but no matter what you try, you struggle to communicate effectively. It feels like you’re speaking different languages.
Why does it feel like I’m stuck when I’m trying so hard?
Despite your efforts, progress feels slow or even non-existent, and you’re starting to wonder if you’ll ever achieve the goals you set for yourself and your horse before time runs out.
Is my training even working?
You’ve tried so many methods, tactics or gadgets, and they've all failed to give you the results you desire. You’re tired of a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t consider your horse’s unique needs or your personal goals.
Forge your own path to connection and confidence
with modern horsemanship lessons that go beyond outdated horse training methods.
Through private lessons (in-person and virtual), online horsemanship courses, and clinics, Equus Enlightened helps riders build trust, rider confidence, and true partnership.

Riding Should Be a Joy, Not a Struggle
You got into horses because you love them—their grace, their spirit, the connection they offer. Riding was supposed to be your sanctuary, a source of peace and happiness. Not anxiety. Whether your dream is excelling in dressage competitions or simply enjoying carefree trail rides, riding should be
easy, fun, and fulfilling.
