Western Horse Training in Cle Elum, Washington (Kittitas County)

I'm a lifelong student of the horse who has found great joy and passion in helping others fulfill their equestrian goals. My expertise covers an array of english and western disciplines, with a focus on developing horse-human partnerships that are satisfying and positive.

I have a strong passion for psychology and biomechanics - for both horses and humans. How we think and feel, and how we move, very much affects how our horses think and feel, and how they move their bodies... and vice-versa. I work with horse owners to help them better understand why their horse is doing what they're doing, and then we develop the elements needed to allow the horse and rider to perform better together.

My clients say I'm equal parts coach, sports therapist, and marriage counselor!

My Mission:
Teach people to teach their horses with confidence!
Make riding effectively simple and fun for all!
Create lesson plans that promote confidence, better communication, and a deeper bond between horse and rider.
Develop horses to be strong, agile, flexible - their best athletic selves!

Schedule is flexible and program is tailored to you and your horses specific needs. Haul to my facility in Fall City, or I will meet you at your barn! I work rain or shine, as long as working conditions are safe for both horse and rider. For more information, Please visit my website, keystone-equestrian.com... See More
