Welcome to The Round Pen
A place to pause, reflect, learn and grow.
The home of The 6 I's in Horsemanship
Because It All Starts With You
My Mission
My mission is to help horse people navigate challenges with confidence and clarity by providing a practical framework for understanding themselves, their horses, and the partnership between them.
The 6 I's of Horsemanship provides a simple framework that helps horse people make better decisions, strengthen their partnerships, and continue growing alongside their horses.
My Philosophy
Over the years, I've learned that many of the challenges we face with horses have less to do with training methods and more to do with self-awareness.
There are countless ways to train a horse, and many of them can be effective. What matters most is understanding what is happening, why it is happening, and choosing a path forward that aligns with both your values and your horse's needs.
I believe the greatest breakthroughs in horsemanship rarely come from finding a new technique. They come from developing awareness, understanding, integrity, intention, and a willingness to keep learning.
Because it all starts with you.
Listen to your heart. Listen to your horse.
I'm So Glad You're Here
The Round Pen was created for horse people who want more than quick fixes, training tricks, and step-by-step instructions.
It's for those who want to understand their horses more deeply, become more thoughtful horsemen and horsewomen, and develop the confidence to make good decisions when things don't go to plan.
This isn't just a training program.
It's a place to learn how to think.
A place to ask better questions.
A place to reflect, learn, and grow.
And most importantly, a place where both horse and human can continue becoming the best version of themselves.
What Are The 6 I's?
The 6 I's provide a framework for making better decisions for yourself and your horse.
Instinct
What is happening?
Intuition
What does it mean?
Integrity
What matters?
Intention
What am I trying to achieve?
Initiate
What am I going to do?

Together, these six questions create a pathway from reaction to reflection, and from uncertainty to purposeful action.

A Personal Note
A round pen is often where we return to the basics.
Where we slow down.
Where we reconnect.
Where we build understanding.
That's what I hope this space becomes for you.
A place to step away from the noise, reflect on your horsemanship, and continue growing alongside your horse.
Thank you for being here.
I'm excited to be part of your journey.
