About

Following my heart’s desires became my way for accomplishing goals. In 1984 following a fascinating decade in business that brought me to Merrill Lynch Futures in Washington D.C. I learned how to see by looking at what is reflected in all the life going on around me. That informs me on how I am doing. Horses are the most delightful teachers, they are still my passion. I think horsemen stay working with horses because they teach us something new everyday.

In appreciation I envision them the healthiest and happiest they can be in all ways, physically, mentally and emotionally in any discipline they perform. Seeing how horses generously take our journey with us, imbues me with the spirit of our responsibility to them – one stride at a time.
To riders, I give simple clean support to make their journeys easier. Having worked for riders on show circuits, racetracks, barns, wherever caring people meet with their horses I network solutions to apply to similar needs. Whether showing, racing, or pleasure horsebacking, caring people have solutions to share for similar needs. I am big on home remedies to empower natural healing abilities whenever possible. As we grow better ourselves, our riding follows.
While networking knowledge we grow and riding skills improve too. A well deserved reward is a WOW saddle. Possibly even a long sought after answer. Making riders and horses more comfortable with an easy way of going.

In equine massage therapy business since 1984 I researched and applied state of the art technology to improve the quality of the equestrian experience. Especially for being able to advance horses through divisions without being sidelined and stuck at a level from a chronic issue. By exposing the heart of the issue it is able to be addressed and resolve it.
You are invited to explore these core benefits. I hope this website inspires your quest. Everything represented here has been tested, tried, found safe, is leading edge, and has the best potential benefits I can find.

The juxtaposition of temperament and tempers, relaxed versus tense, is the responsibility of riders to understand, about themselves and their horses. More resources need to be made available for better understanding. Relief from tension can not only make training better because of more muscular access, veterinarians can more easily zero-in for a medical application.

From the first writing of horse training in the manual by a Chinese dynasty 3,000 years ago, the horses structure has had to adapt itself to that of a carrying animal. Structurally horses body conformation is that of prey animals, used for maximum running flight.

 

In order to carry a load on their back they depend upon the skill of riders for how successful they master it. WOW saddles makes it easier for riders to improve their skills and develop their horses.

As prey animals, horses hide their pain. A rider is helping their horse develop athleticism. Each horse is an individual, and so is each rider. How far to go take riding and how much to train the horse is individual.

This work was born out of the 1970′s. Attitudes were changing about a lot of things. In Colorado, I was married, taking college courses and working, it was a very high energy decade. When my marriage unraveled, wiser, I found the freedom and courage to pursue my hearts desire so I followed my dream.

At first it was moving from comfy Colorado. I moved to D.C. I trained and studied for a Merrill Lynch Futures career in NY and DC. After a couple of years, having included some medical practitioner courses in holistic therapies, I grabbed the entrepreneurs hook and took off on my own with horses.
