About JoAnn!

 I have dedicated my life to learning as much as I can about horses, my learning has never stopped!

I graduated from The University of Findlay with a degree in Western Equestrian studies and most recently I have been a student in Stacy Westfall's Resourceful Rider program. From Stacy I have learned that horse training is a conversation between me and my horse.  My horse is going to ask A LOT of questions and how I answer those questions will determine if my horse will trust me or resent me.  When you can train your horse with a patient but curiosity filled mindset the whole process becomes EASY and INCREDIBLY FUN!

The one thing that I love just as much as training my horse, is helping others train their horse. With Stacy’s help I have been able to learn simple and fun ways to improve the communication between you and your horse.  This has become my passion!  Helping my students with their horses has been a dream come true!
