I’m on a journey to create meaningful, balanced, and compassionate partnerships between horses and their humans. My herd of horses are my greatest teachers—each horse mentoring me in their own unique way.

With a background in horse-trekking, I’ve guided in both Australia and New Zealand, exploring some of the most varied and beautiful landscapes. While I’ve always loved riding, especially on multi-day treks through the mountains, I soon realized that my true passion wasn’t just the thrill of riding or the remoteness of the locations—it was my deep desire to connect with horses in all aspects of their lives. I wanted to understand them on a deeper level than simply through riding.

This passion for horses has evolved into a commitment to exploring the connection we share with them, and how we can give them the best care possible. I’ve adopted a horse-first approach, focusing on their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. And what I’ve learned is simple: when we approach horses with compassionate understanding, they thrive. Sadly, many modern horse-keeping practices overlook these basic needs, which is why I founded Hear Your Herd—a space where I share the lessons, teachings, and inspirations I’ve gained from my own herd with like-minded horse people.

I’m now focused on empowering others to cultivate deeper relationships with their horses, guiding them in horse-first practices that benefit both you and your herd.
