Parelli At Wolf Creek Equestrian Center
About
Kerri became a horsemanship professional at the young age of 17 when she became Director of Horsemanship at a private school in Maryland. She was a Licensed Parelli Professional for over 15 years before retireing in 2020. She joined Happy Horse Happy Life as a Master Instructor in 2020. She uses horse pyscology based training and mindful riding to empower students to become better leaders, riders and communicators for their horses.
Teaching is my passion, my joy and my heart. I have a very positive way of teaching and have the ability to quickly understand what the horse and human need most, in any given moment and help focus on the ingredients to help you reach your goals.
I have a great safety record with very few student accidents in all the years that I have been teaching. I have an eye for seeing something about to happen and quickly redirect and move on. Possibly from all my early years teaching groups of children where all kind of things show up. Confidence is easy to lose and hard to gain back. Protecting my students confidence is very high on my priority list.
