Description of Services Offered
What's your dream?

Everybody has a dream......

Is it quietly and confidently picking your way down a trail with your equine soul mate?

Is it hearing your horse's name called as Champion of a competition that recognizes the true partnership and harmony between horse and rider?

Is it to better understand why your horse does what he does, and improve your relationship with that knowledge?

Success on the rail equals success on the trail.

You can have both!

Listen ~ Feel ~ Respond

Every horse has a natural ability.

Every rider has their own natural ability.

Tori's joy is to mold the best abilities of the two into one.

Patiently, respectfully, naturally and with a successful and enjoyable outcome.


You've set your goal, now it's time to reach out there and grab it!

Tori provides clear visions of how to achieve the relationship you are looking for with your horse.

All breeds welcome.
