Discover the power of

co-creation

with your horse

Learn mindful movement and tools for personal growth, with the horse as your instructor and collaborator; guided by understanding and a journey built on vulnerability, trust and connection.

Transform your relationship with your horse through science and empathy-driven methods that honor both your needs and your horse's, creating a space for listening, vulnerability and deep understanding—the heart of true connection.

Traditional horsemanship methods often overlook the emotional intelligence of horses, which fails to fully acknowledge the equal partnership we seek with them.

Many horsemanship methods focus on control, leaving you and your horse feeling disconnected and misunderstood. What’s really missing is the art of listening - not just speaking - to develop a relationship of trust and equality.

With years of certified experience in therapeutic riding and equine-assisted learning, Stacey provides a compassionate alternative that aligns with the natural dynamics of horse-human relationships.

Develop an intentional partnership where communication flows both ways.

With practical clinics and intensive retreats, you and your horse will build a language of trust and unity. You'll learn techniques that encourage your horse to engage willingly and joyfully, transforming routine interactions into opportunities for mutual discovery and growth. Together, we'll ensure that your communication is clear, your connection is strong, and your sessions are filled with learning and joy.

Build Advocacy Into Every Step of Your Horsemanship Journey

Every session gets you closer to understanding your horse better and deepening the bond you share. Experience an approach that emphasizes the importance of positive experiences shared between horse and rider, and acknowledges the horse as a sentient being capable of teaching humans valuable lessons. Join clinics and retreats with like-minded individuals that not only enhance your skills but also enrich your life and the life of your horse, ensuring each moment you spend together is rewarding.

The Heart Centered Way

Through her experiences as a PATH Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor, an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning, and a registered yoga teacher, Stacey has come to realize that the key to successful horsemanship lies in the connection and harmonious movement between horse and rider. By incorporating elements of equine assisted therapy, yoga, and mutual learning with horses, Heart Centered Horsemanship provides a holistic approach to creating mutually beneficial relationships with our equine companions.

Stacey is featured in Cheryl Meola's book, "Integrating Horses into Healing;" This comprehensive guide brings together the wisdom of equine specialists, researchers, clients, and veterinarians, offering a holistic perspective on Equine Assisted Services (EAS).

What Our Happy Clients Say

Stacey is amazing. She is kind and infinitely patient, and has the innate knowledge to follow the horse's cues in training. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with their horse.

She helped me find a perfect home for my aging thoroughbred when no one else could, and for that I am forever grateful. But it doesn't stop there. She took him in training for 2 weeks and transitioned him from being spoiled and pasture sour to a kids' horse. He is not perfect, but he is loving and kind, and she brought that side of him out to the fullest.

Thank you so much for everything, Stacey. You are a beautiful person, and have a gift with horses. I am happy to have met you, and hope to know you better.

So very thankful I found Stacey to work with my rescue horse Forrest, who was a bundle of anxiety and an expert in avoidance. She not only taught him how to be a relaxed horse but taught me so much as well. I just wanted a horse to trail ride with and bond with and she has given this to Forrest and me.

- Jane E.

My horse and I have been working with Stacey for about 5 months and the progress that we have made together is incredible. I cannot thank her enough for her help in building a better partnership with my horse and helping us become a team.
