Meet Connie

Positive Reinforcement Horse Training Specialist

40+ years of starting young horses & helping “problem” horses

Connie isn't here to dominate your horse or force compliance.
She’s here to teach you to listen - because your horse will be your real teacher.

Her training combines:
• Ethical positive reinforcement
• Thoughtful use of food rewards
• Choice-based learning
• Gentle exposure to pressure and release
• Emotional-awareness training for both horse and human
• Trust-building, confidence-building, resilience-building

Connie has spent decades working with young horses, fearful horses, sensitive horses, and horses who have been pushed past their emotional limits.

If you’ve tried trainers, methods, clinics and your horse is still anxious or reactive, this course is where things change.

Connie's Philosophy

Don’t fix the behaviour. Build the horse.
We don’t ask horses to “cope.”
We show them how to feel safe.
We don’t force compliance.
We build confidence.
We don’t take power away.
We share it. And the horse grows.
This isn’t rope-swinging, flag-waving “respect training.”
It’s real relationship-building, grounded in:
Safety
Understanding
Motivation
Choice
Positive emotion
Resilience
When horses feel safe, understood, and capable they choose to stay, try, and trust.
