There was too many good photos of the Black Horse Farm team, they needed their own post. I had the privilege of working with Sylvia from Grande Liberté Farm with my liberty team for the third time. The boys have made so much progress since the last time we worked together, I was so proud to be able to showcase everything we've been working on. I had their full attention and focus for our whole session and they really enjoyed showing off for our crowd of auditors. Getting feedback on my team from one of the top liberty trainers in the world is a pretty special opportunity so thank you all who made it a possibility. Thank you Roy Stansell for the photos!

Thank you all who helped make this another incredibly successful clinic! As always, Sylvia from Grande Liberté Farm captivated the audience with her artistry, timing, and deep connection to each horse. Watching her bring out softness, focus, and be able to translate that back to each owner with their own horse was beautiful. We had a wonderful group of participants and auditors, and the discussions throughout the weekend made the experience all the more meaningful.
Thank you The Soulful Horse and Roy Stansell for all you help setting up and Roy for the beautiful photography. Special shoutout to my amazing wife who puts up with my horsey things and is always there to give me a hand. We are already planing to bring Sylvia back next year for more clinics in the Spring/Summer so stay tuned. If you would like to be on the mailing list to be the first to hear about upcoming clinics you can sign up for the mailing list on my website.

Some beautiful photos of Oitava from our performance at the Kataluna Horse Rescue fundraiser! She was an absolute super star ❤️ and is turning into quite the little reliable performer. I’m excited to start doing more liberty demonstrations with her 😍.

✨ Now accepting new clients in Redmond & Woodinville ✨
I have a few rare openings available for private lessons and training in the Redmond/Woodinville area. Services include:

• Groundwork & lunging
• Classical dressage (focused on biomechanics & balance)
• Liberty (foundational to advanced)
• Positive reinforcement
• Young horse development/problem solving

Whether you're starting from the ground up or looking on refining more advanced work, I can offer thoughtful, individualized support rooted in experience.

I bring over a decade of hands-on experience, including:
• Training and performing with Cavalia’s international tour (liberty, Roman riding, dressage)
• USDF Bronze Medalist (currently pursuing Silver/Gold on a self-trained horse)
• Clinics with Gerd Heuschmann, Pippa Callanan, Sylvia Zerbini and others
• Background in vaulting, young horse development, and performance

My approach combines classical principles with a deep understanding of biomechanics and behavior. The goal is a horse that’s balanced, confident, and genuinely willing—without shortcuts or force.

Lessons are available at your facility (I can provide certificate of insurance) , or in some cases on one of my own school horses if it’s the right match. Travel slightly outside Redmond/Woodinville is possible for groups of two or more (travel fee applies).

I am also currently booking clinics for fall/winter. Message me for rates/more info or see www.jchorsetraining.com

If you’d like to learn more or talk through your goals, feel free to reach out.

It takes the time it takes…

I’m never looking for quick fixes or superficial results. My goal is always to create lasting, healthy progress by encouraging horses to carry themselves comfortably, confidently, and correctly. The physical changes you see here are the direct result of slow, steady work prioritizing an upright, open posture (only recently starting to ask her to become slightly more “round”), spinal straightness, and a relaxed, engaged topline. Her training routine has been balanced and varied, including ridden sessions, lunging, cavaletti exercises, liberty work, and hacking out—rarely exceeding 30 minutes at a time, aside from longer trail rides where she’s typically ponied from another horse.

It’s a beautiful reminder that when we honor the horse’s natural balance and take the time it truly needs, we build horses who are not only physically sound and strong but mentally relaxed and genuinely happy in their work.

Trust the process—your horse will thank you.
