Positive Reinforcement Equine Trainer and Coach
Meet Aria
My life mission is to improve the connection between horses and their humans. I am passionate about equine behavior, positive reinforcement training, equine care practices, and teaching. As a certified Connection Training coach, I’m here to help you and your equine build a strong, trusting partnership.
What would you like to achieve with your equine?
Coaching Tailored to Meet Your Specific Needs
Connection and Confidence Building
Foster a deep connection with your equine while helping them build confidence in new environments and around novelty objects. Strengthen your partnership by enhancing trust and understanding.
Gymnastic Groundwork
Enhance your equine’s balance, rhythm, and flexibility with pole work, lateral flexions, and liberty lunging, while improving their feet awareness and overall agility.
Starting Under Saddle
Prepare your equine for riding by teaching them to willingly line up at the mounting block, accept saddling and bridling, and transfer ground cues to the saddle.
Daily Handling and Trailer Loading
Teach your equine to enjoy daily handling tasks like catching, haltering, leading, and standing tied, as well as grooming, trailer loading, and traveling with ease.
Games
Have fun with your equine by teaching them to play games like noseball, colors, fetch, smile, spin, and stand on pedestals.
Healthcare Cooperation
Ensure your equine actively participates in routine care by using start buttons, introducing new sensations at their pace, and creating a calm, cooperative environment.
Emotional Balance and Regulation
Help your equine manage stress and remain emotionally balanced during training sessions, reducing anxiety for a smoother learning experience.
Behavior Modification
Address behavioral challenges rooted in long-term stress or trauma. Through compassionate training, help your equine reconnect with their senses, expand their window of tolerance, and thrive in a safe, supportive environment.
