My work stands at the intersection of evidence-based understanding and intuitive feel—where biomechanics support beauty, and presence unlocks potential.

This is the space I invite you into.
Not one of domination or drills.
But one of curiosity, communication, and compassion.

Because when we meet the horse with both knowledge and kindness, something extraordinary unfolds.

Thank you to everyone who expressed an interest in the upcoming clinic June 7-8 at my homebase farm.

Given the current economic climate and the thoughtful feedback I’ve received, I’ve decided to pause and reschedule this gathering for a later time.

I’ll be sharing new dates for a home based clinic, later this year, and I’d love to welcome you when the time feels right.

In the meantime, if you’d like to explore one-on-one work, host me for a clinic at your farm, or have any questions about your path with your horse, please know I’m here for you.

Happy grazing,
Maria

It takes a village...
Pictured here with Beau, a 6-year old Dutch Warmblood, is our Dr. Maria Katsamanis and working student Todd Volyn.

This boy is officially on his way back to greatness. Thank you to his owner Joann Wieber for entrusting us with her boy.

Is your horse bolting, rearing? Have you seen a horse panicked and flip backwards ? Is your horse having difficulty maintaining a comfortable riding rhythm or staying “on the bit”? We have seen all these and much more. All these resistances arise when a horse is uncomfortable mentally and physically.

We are in the business of solving problems and getting horses and riders back on track, regardless of discipline or breed. Our goal is that you are riding clean, classically and CORRECT.

Your horse will thank you for it …

I am the owner of 35 Pine trees, one Stallion and a Linden tree. I am a custodian to 9 horses and 30 more in my equine diaspora. I am a guide for students, professional and amateurs alike, from around the world.

Today I celebrate the human spirit of tenacity, patience and devotion. Pictured here is my student Karen and her boy Gallo.

1.5 years ago, after a fall, she began her lessons on how to long-rein. This would help her confidence and solidify riding principles she could take to her riding later down the line.

Week after week she built this skill base. With every passing month her tools to build a stronger language and bond deepened.

And voilá! Here she is today back in the saddle riding better than ever.

I always encourage students to learn proper classical long-reigning even before learning how to ride. It helps build the skills that will improve your riding. And that is if you are taught correctly.

My introduction into horses made it mandatory to learn this skill before I was even allowed to sit on a horse.

It’s THAT important that I even created an introductory long-reining course as part of my education library. Curious to start ? I include the link https://education.mariakatsamanis.com/courses/intro-to-long-reining

A rainbow arrives after a rain shower.
Nature gives us a gentle reminder that there is hope.
The journey with our horses is one filled with opportunities for self growth and reflection.

One of the simplest, yet most profound ways to look at life, sport, and achieving success in any discipline comes from part of the Zen kōan. There is a famous quote that goes: “Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.”

Enjoy a beautiful day 🌻
