Sanctuary Farm

I have over 35 years of experience teaching and training riders of all ages and levels. The nature of my experience has given me the ability to evaluate the horse’s physicality and emotional well-being in relation to their rider for improved health and performance.

My passion for horses started with my family, who have been horse trainers in France for generations. Originally, I began a career as a dancer in New York City. All the years of dancing taught me about the mechanics of body movement. My training style was developed from my love of dance and horses. When I started teaching, I wanted riders to understand that horses are intelligent, sensitive animals who respond to kindness and touch.
