About Me

Horses are my lifelong teachers—precious, magical, and wise. I care deeply for their well-being and strive to create the best possible experience for both horse and human. My mission is to help you build a deep, trusting partnership with your horse and become a confident, connected rider.

Besides always having horses in my life, I have spent the last 10 years working closely and intensely with different trainers. This shaped my philosophy of working with the horse, never against it, no matter the discipline.

A Martial Arts Influence

My 15+ years in competitive Taekwondo have shaped my work with horses. Martial arts taught me body mechanics, self-regulation, self-awareness and how to break skills into clear, teachable steps for horse and human—an approach I bring to every lesson and training session.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Daniela M.

“Andrea worked with two of my horses—one recovering from an old injury with residual stiffness, and another returning to work after a long lay-off. Within just four weeks, through a thoughtful combination of in-hand and under-saddle work as well as nerve release bodywork, both horses showed remarkable improvement. They became noticeably freer in their movement, developed muscle correctly, and were more willing and responsive overall. I would strongly recommend Andrea to anyone seeking expert support in rehabilitating a horse from injury, bringing a horse back into work, or developing correct movement patterns.”

Robert C.

“I’ve retired early and living the dream of owning my own horse. While my horse was described as being ‘broke’, he likely was ‘cowboy broke’ and very – very – rough around the edges. This is where I’m most fortunate to have Andrea. Her horsemanship skills coupled with her soft but definite demeanor is bringing my horse up to speed. She is a natural teacher so as the horse learns, so do I as I watch and listen to her as she works.“

Anne E.

“I completely fell in love with horseback riding and have to thank Andrea for it. She is knowledgeable and clear, yet endlessly patient and encouraging. Andrea is creating an environment where I feel excited to learn and unembarrassed to make mistakes. I hope my next instructor has the same magic touch.“

Janet E.

“Andrea is a guide to becoming the kind of person that horses need. Her gentle teaching offers a meaningful invitation to deepen self awareness (“relax, breathe, feel how your body moves”), to stretch one’s sense of curiosity, and step into horsemanship with courage and the willingness to learn and understand life- from the horse’s perspective.  She continues to surprise me with her  innate horse-sense,  she is a gift to teaching!”
