The equestrian industry lacks standardized education, and we knew there had to be a better way.

With over 44 years of hands-on experience, EMES was created to provide:

• Structured, progressive education
• Professional credentials for trainers
• Clear learning paths for students
• A supportive equestrian community

From hunters, jumpers, and equitation to Equine and Facility Management programs, EMES builds knowledge from the ground up using bite-sized, measurable learning units designed for real retention and real progress.

Because better education creates better horsemen and a better future for the sport.

Ending this year with so much gratitude. Thank you to my amazing clients for your trust, my horses for everything they teach me, and my family for the constant support that makes this life possible.

So thankful for our veterinarians and farriers — your care, knowledge, and dedication keep our horses happy, healthy, and doing their best.

A huge thank-you to my assistant trainer, Bella Smith, for your hard work and commitment.

Grateful for an incredible 2025 and excited for what 2026 will bring. 🤍🐴✨

Metabolic horses, especially those with Equine Metabolic Syndrome—are prone to insulin issues, weight gain, and painful laminitis. That cresty neck and slow weight loss? They’re red flags.
Good news: Metabolic conditions can be managed with the right diet, exercise, and vet care. Want to know if your horse is at risk? Let’s talk.
