About Wendy
| A Personal Note “All horses are individuals. Like people, they have their own story. Each has personalized needs which must be understood and appreciated. The best results come from a “no rush” approach. They are very perceptive beings. Love and respect from an owner/trainer are reflected and returned through attitude and performance. Well loved horses are happy horses. Our farm is known for horses that "smile from the heart.” -Wendy |
Wendy has been teaching for over three decades and has experience in all riding disciplines.
She holds a BHSAI certificate from England and an Advanced Teaching License from the state
of Massachusetts. She was a groom for the United States Three-Day Equestrian Team and is a
graduate of the Morvan Park Equestrian Institute in Leesburg, Virginia, as well as the Talland
School of Equitation in England, holding certificates in training, riding, and teaching. She has
been a featured clinician at the Equine Affair in Springfield, Massachusetts, and is a columnist
for the Horseman’s Yankee Pedlar.
In 1990, Wendy was selected to receive the New England Dressage Association Scholarship to
work with Dr. Deb Bennet, a nationally respected paleontologist and frequent columnist for
Equus Magazine and the USDF Bulletin. Her goal was to understand how a horse's anatomy
and conformation influence his way of going. She has developed a special talent for analyzing
the horse’s posture, finding out where he is stiff and locked, and then developing exercises to
relieve and release the stiffness.
Wendy is a firm believer in improving a horse’s talent and performance through suppling
exercises which free the shoulders and hind end. Her most significant successes have been
with problem horses. She had elicited improved performance through her exercises and
creative application of these techniques.
In addition to her formal training and education, Wendy has worked with the biggest names in
“Natural Horsemanship” including Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman, Bryan Neubert, Joe Walter, Greg
Eliel, Jeff Griffith, and others. She incorporates the techniques she has learned into her training,
communicating with the horses in a way they can understand, and helping them feel confident
and secure in our environment. The result is a calm, content, willing, and supple horse — ready
for any riding discipline.
