Willow Grove Ranch

Willow Grove Ranch Deep-rooted education that is beneficial & respectful of all horses, disciplines, & riders. I believe that wellness in all areas is as important as education.

Each horse and rider have their own emotional, intellectual, and physical experience. The means of fostering wellness need to be of highest quality and integrity to release the potential inherent in these two divergent species. Groundwork, liberty, in hand work, double lunge, basic movement correction/massage and extremely detailed ridden work are the modalities I use to diagnose and guide horses

and riders toward their mutual benefit. The in hand and ridden work follow the cultural and technical heritage of Légèreté, the education of horse and rider in the French tradition. I have extensive experience with many breeds (stock horses, thoroughbreds, draft breeds, ponies, minis, gated horses, Arabians, Morgans, Hackneys, Friesians, warmbloods) and disciplines (most western disinclines, stock horse breed show disciplines, basic work over fences, carriage driving, combined driving, dressage). My lifelong specialities have been troubled horses and starting youngsters. Willow Grove is also involved in the preservation and promotion (via breeding and exhibition) of the critically endangered Hackney Horse.

I used to think a good rider could get anything from their horse if they just asked at the right time in the right way.

Now I’m starting to understand that a good rider feels innately what is fair to ask and not, and when and why - and so they get what they want by not wanting what they can’t, or shouldn’t, have.

Love the horse you're with!

I finished my first 50 mile ride! With my new pal Bri, we rode a middle of the road 8 hour 50 miles at city of rocks.

I was riding Layne Bownds Lewis boy Atlas, and Bri was riding Laynes boy Harley. Thanks to the local endurance and distance riding folks for putting on the ride, The Sweaty Equestrian for reminders of just how to do this, and Layne for her expert guidance, laughter, support, wisdom, and generosity!
