TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"I have so much
more clarity"
Learning to train horses with Jody following the principles of Equitation Science changed my horsie life — really!
I witnessed how breaking training down into the basics of go, stop, turn, and yield consistently produced calm, confident, and simple horses.
I now have more clarity about what works and why it works, and can confidently develop my own young horses into happy, willing riding partners.

"life changing!"
I wasn’t planning to compete, but I wanted to bring more variety and fun into my horse’s training routine. The Working Equitation Library gave me just that! The exercises are engaging, and my horse is more responsive and relaxed than ever. It’s such a joy to work through the videos and see how much we’ve both improved. Jody’s approach makes it easy to learn and apply everything at your own pace.

"A LIFE-CHANGING JOURNEY"
Learning Equitation Science has been a journey for both myself and my horse, one that I am so grateful to be on thanks to Jody. One of the big things was learning WHY we do things the way we do, instead of just fumbling through trial and error. Once learning the 10 principles it really is amazing how they apply to everything we do, whether I was dressage schooling, hunting, or float loading, I could always refer back to the principles which helped me be a better horsewomen and definitely made my horses learn quicker and calmer. It is a skill set that any rider should have, simply because it puts the horse first.
