Kerry M Thomas - Sensory Soundness & Herd Dynamics
https://www.kerrymthomas.com/
When people ask me to describe my work with horses, I often say this: I translate the equine mind.My work is centered on understanding how horses experience the world, how they perceive their environment, process emotional and sensory information, and express that experience through behavior, movement, and performance. We all know what horses are. My work is about uncovering who each horse is. At its heart, this is a journey of discovery, revealing the emotional, sensory, and herd-driven forces that shape a horse’s responses and capabilities. Our goal is collective: to bridge the gap between the natural herd dynamic and the domesticated world

Bruce Anderson began his work with horses on the family cocoa and coffee estate on the West Indian islands of Trinidad and Tobago. He learned to ride on the estate and then represented his country on the National Show Jumping Team. From there he moved on to breeding farms at home, in the U.K. and in the U.S. While in England, he earned an agricultural degree and worked with racehorses in Florida. He eventually moved into the hunter/jumper show circuit.

Liberty, Dressage, Groundwork, Problem-Solving, and more...
Ariana is known for her calm, patient, and empathetic approach with horses and humans. Her thorough attention to detail and quality of instruction & training are what makes her work so unique and sought after. Ariana's intention is to help people understand things from their horses perspective, and help them develop the self-reflection, self-awareness, understanding, knowledge, and tools to work with their horse in a compassionate and respectful way. Her goal is to help each horse become more focused, confident and balanced (mentally, physically, & emotionally) while making progress towards each of our goals and dreams.
