When Cinderella, affectionately known as Ella, arrived at Bridge the Gap Equine in January 2026, she was beginning a new chapter of her life.

At 16 years old, Ella had spent much of her life raising babies. A mother of nine, she had very limited experience competing and had never carried a particularly demanding workload under saddle. She had just weaned her most recent foal and arrived a bit underweight. She also had developed a fear of trailer loading, which would become an important part of our work together.

Our approach with Ella focused on the whole horse. We took a thoughtful approach to her nutrition to help her gain weight, gradually developed her fitness for riding, and worked to build her confidence under saddle. Periodic bodywork, including PEMF and Myofascial Release, has also played an important role in supporting her comfort and progress.

By applying my understanding of the nervous system, I was able to tailor our training to help Ella work through her fears, including her anxiety around trailer loading, rather than simply asking her to push through them. Patience, consistency, and meeting her where she was made all the difference.

Today, Ella has become a huge asset to our lesson program and has found her own person in a teenage rider pursuing a future in lower-level eventing. Watching them grow together has been so incredibly rewarding. ❤️

One of my favorite things about watching Ella in her new role is seeing how well she takes care of her rider. There is something incredibly special about a mare who has spent so much of her life raising babies and now brings that same patience and kindness to the young rider on her back.

Ella’s story is a reminder that a horse’s past does not have to define their future. With the right support, a thoughtful approach, and a willingness to meet them where they are, we can help horses discover new opportunities at any stage of life.

You don’t need to know an anatomy textbook from front to back to be a better horse owner. But understanding the basics of how your horse’s body, brain, and nervous system work together can completely change the way you see, understand, and support them.

Join me this December for three mini clinics designed to help you better understand your horse, recognize what their movement is telling you, and make more informed decisions about their overall wellness.

I hope to see you there!

Have you been yearning for more time in the saddle, but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into horse ownership?

We have quite a few options for partial lease in our barn! This is a great way to increase your riding time without taking on the full responsibility of owning your own horse.

Not a student of mine currently? NO PROBLEM! I can set you up with an assessment lesson to help me determine who would be a good match for you!!

Still unsure? Setup a time to come meet with me!!

Meet the nuchal ligament: the most important part of horses’ topline you’ve probably never heard of.

The nuchal ligament, which runs from the top of the skull down the neck to the withers, is responsible for holding the weight of the horse’s head (which comprises about 10% of their total bodyweight!). It plays a role in almost every movement a horse makes, from storing a significant portion of the energy they need to move to stretching to help them lift their backs.

When I attended the Equine Brain and Body Symposium with Dr. Stephen Peters and Jillian Kreinbring over the summer, I learned a LOT about the nuchal ligament… and I’m obsessed.

Think about it: if this ligament is so important and responsible for so many functions, what happens when it’s not doing what it’s supposed to?

If horses are ridden regularly with over-flexed polls or with their necks otherwise restricted, it can trigger pain and inflammation in the nuchal ligament and even issues like nuchal bursitis. Nearly everything a horse does, from work under saddle to simply grazing in the field, is affected by an impaired nuchal ligament.

This is one of the many reasons I am so passionate about proper biomechanics in both horses and riders.

When riders learn to follow the motion of the horse with their elbows, they let the neck oscillate properly so the nuchal ligament can do what it’s built to do. When horses learn to push out to the contact with an open throatlatch and their poll as the highest point, they build the correct muscles and leave the nuchal ligament unimpeded.

Biomechanics is not just a buzzword. It’s the foundation of happy, healthy horses and harmonious riding.
