Hi, I'm Liz
I have over 20 years of experience working with horses and more than five years of teaching riders. I’m a PATH certified therapeutic riding instructor with a background in zoology, animal training and behavior, natural horsemanship, and early childhood education.I’ve worked across disciplines from Western pleasure and rodeo to dressage and jumping, and I specialize in helping riders understand how their body influences communication, movement, and connection with their horse.
Investment
Because each horse and rider pair is unique, services are tailored to individual needs. Pricing typically falls within the ranges below:• Private sessions (groundwork or rider body awareness):
Starting at $60–$125 per session• Multi-session support or training plans:
Custom pricing based on goals and location• Travel-based sessions:
Travel fees may apply beyond my primary service area
Service Area
I’m based in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, and primarily work with clients within approximately 45–60 minutes of the metro area.Travel beyond this range may be possible for established clients or special circumstances and is considered on a case-by-case basis.
How it Works
1. We talk about you, your horse, and your goals
2. I assess movement, patterns, and communication
3. You receive a clear, realistic plan to work with
What I Don't Offer
To make sure I’m the best fit for both you and your horse, there are a few things I don’t currently provide:• Full-time training, horse starting, or board-and-train programs
• Quick-fix behavior solutions without addressing physical or communication factors
• Riding instruction focused solely on competition or performance outcomes
• Emergency, veterinary, or rehabilitation servicesMy work is best suited for owners who want to better understand their horse’s movement, comfort, and communication and are willing to engage in a thoughtful, process-based approach.
