For the love of horses

Welcome to Lavender Hills

Horses have been my greatest teachers since before I could walk, and that early start sparked a lifelong passion. Now, as an active competitor and instructor, I'm here to share everything I've learned through training that puts horses first. My approach blends modern teaching methods with solid horsemanship foundations, because happy horses create confident riders.

I don't just teach riding – I teach understanding. Why do horses behave the way they do? How can we communicate better with them? What makes them tick? Through attention to biomechanics, positive reinforcement, and step-by-step skill building, you'll develop real confidence that comes from actually getting it, not just going through the motions. Whether you're brand new to horses or prepping for your next big show, you'll learn to speak your horse's language while building solid riding skills.

At Lavender Hills, we're all about:

• Building confidence the right way, from the ground up

• Learning the whole picture, not just sitting pretty

• Finding what works for YOU as a rider

• Creating real partnerships with our horses

• Crushing goals, whether that's mastering your first trot or winning blue ribbons

As someone who actively competes in eventing and at A/AA rated shows, I bring fresh, proven methods to my teaching while always keeping horse happiness the priority. Every lesson is a chance to become not just a better rider, but a more complete equestrian.

Join our barn family where questions are always welcome, we celebrate every win (big or small!), and horses are treated like the individuals they are. Whether you dream of show ring glory, want to rock your 4-H projects, or just want to become a more confident rider, I'm here to help you get there.

Building partnerships through understanding, education, and genuine care for our horses.
