Teaching is my passion!
I'm here to guide YOU on your Training Journey! For over thirty years, I've specialized in training horses for adult amateur and youth riders. In 2017, I began training Stock Dogs as well and found the same concepts apply in both arenas.
My coaching techniques are designed to help riders and handlers achieve extraordinary results by mastering Fundamental Principles and learning how to apply them in a successful manner.
My Background...
I was raised in a Montana ranching family. My earliest riding experiences involved chasing cattle through the hills and competing in rodeo events. In 1988, I formally opened my horse training business. By 1994, I had won the FFA Western Region Star in Agribusiness Award for my business, the first woman to do so!
I have experience training and showing in a variety of disciplines at the National level, from reining and cutting to dressage and eventing. I've also found success in the Stock Dog world. Some recent accomplishments include 2021 Strang Ranch Double Lift winner, 2021 Soldier Hollow Qualifier, 2021 Meeker Classic Semi-Finalist, 2021 National Cattledog Association Reserve National Intermediate Champion, 2021 Trailing of The Sheep Reserve Double Lift Champion.
Today, my primary focus is on training my personal horses and coaching riders and handlers to discover and achieve their potential in Equestrian and Herding disciplines.
When I'm not riding or teaching, I enjoy participating in Stockdog Competition with my wonderful string of dogs!

Our Success... Measured in Students!
Heart T Ranch students have achieved impressive results nationwide and include USDF Dressage, USEA Eventing, USHJA Hunter/Jumper competitions, and NRCHA Reined Cowhorse events. These students and their amazing horses represent the results possible in the show ring. We are equally proud of our students who choose not to show, but focus on personal development and strengthening their relationship with their horse.
Your Horsemanship Dream is our Mission!
