Let The Horse Be Your Guide to

Deeper Connection

Helping horses and humans connect through the deepest feelings of mental, physical & emotional wellbeing by fostering whole being coherence, exploring all available movements, and releasing trauma informed patterns from the ground and under saddle.

Your heart seeks a true connection with your horse, only to find training methods that leave you with...

Dominance Over Dialogue

Traditional training often emphasizes control, leaving little room for true connection. You yearn for a partnership where your horse feels understood and willingly cooperates rather than complies out of fear.

Discover a more empathetic approach where dialogue replaces dominance, fostering the joyful partnership you desire with your horse.

Safety and Skill Gaps

Dealing with a horse can sometimes feel intimidating or unpredictable, especially if the training methods you're being taught aren't built on clear communication and trust. This can lead to anxiety and prevent you from enjoying your time together.

Learn how to safely build confidence and competence with thoughtful, cooperative, and empathetic techniques.

Misaligned Realities

You dream of a mutually-beneficial partnership that is guided by your horses well-being and happiness, but your current reality falls short, making you feel disconnected and frustrated.

Bridge the gap between your vision and the current state through practical tools that support mental, physical & emotional wellbeing, releases trauma-informed patterns, and activates all available movements for both horse and rider.

What People Are Saying

What can I say about learning from Stacey Carter? I have witnessed Stacey teach to all equine enthusiasts

from the first ride to riding cross country or down centerline. My journey with Stacey began at her farm at her Heart Centered Horsemanship clinic in 2017. I was in search of a way of interacting with my horse that was more relationship based. Since then, I have trained with Stacey and hosted clinics here at my farm featuring her heart centered approach. I learned to “let go” in my body so I could help my horse let go. I learned to speak softly to my horses and wait patiently for the answer. Over time I have completely transformed my interactions with my horses and reached goals I could not imagine. Bareback and bridleless riding in full trust with both my warmblood and my Arabian. If you are ready to transform your interactions with your horses and truly create a communication-based ride with harmony as the result then don’t waste another day, sign up with Stacey NOW.

Stacey has a gifted way of interacting with horses and what appears to be a magical way to show others to do it as well, making it seem as if we can all be Horse Whisperers. And we can! (She's also fabulous with children, which to me is even more awe-inspiring.) HIGHLY recommend for kids AND adults.

Stacey Carter has an unequivocal talent to teach you the ability in helping you connect with your horse to become a better rider. Her horsemanship skills taps into the needs of your horse and you as a rider. She educates you, as a rider, to have a better understanding how to communicate with your horse. Her methods encourage the horse to want to preform with ease and grace, without the pressures of tugging, kicking, and pulling. I have experienced great improvements as a rider and vast enhancements for my horse.
