Showing and emotions
I spent the last week at a horse show. Part of showing is dealing with personal emotions and for me it is also about knowing how to deal with my student’s emotions. Whenever we show, I want to make sure that my students get the most they can out of the experience whether they win or lose. This is considerably easier if they win but if they lose it is my job to make sure that they understand what they did well, what they can improve on and what they can learn from the process and experience of participating.

Site Manager - Mara Hi, I'm Mara. I hold several equine business related degrees and have earned numerous national awards for riding. I've been seriously involved with horses my entire life and have ridden with many locally and nationally known horse professionals. I've also worked as a working student for hunter/jumper trainers Tammy Provost-Vitello and Wendy Newby, primarily as a rider and instructor. I've worked extensively with event, jumper and dressage trainer Jerry Schurink.

My love for horses is genuine and my desire to share that passion with others is the chief reason I'm working on this site. Be sure to check out my blog for more about my experiences with horses as well as my videos here on the site.
