“I believe a true partnership is built on trust and understanding. Horses can teach you a lot about yourself if you are willing to listen.”

I am originally from Czech republic where my love for quarter horses and western riding started. As a little girl I always wanted a horse! As kids we were always sneaking into local stables and secretly fed carrots to horses and if we were very lucky enough, someone would eventually crack and let us have a sit on one of the horses bareback just for a few minutes.

Then by pure luck, a very good friend of mine introduced me to riding when I was around 15 years old, and it just happened to be a western ranch! And that was me pretty much hooked on western riding for the rest of my life.  Initially I would slave around the stables so I can just sit on a horse and cool it down for ten minutes after its workout.  I could hardly ride then but was brave enough to climb aboard most horses.  They became my greatest teachers! I was lucky enough to ride some amazing horses, both reiners and barrel racers. I’ve learned how to work horses in the round pen, the art of join-up, starting young show horses and also competed in barrel racing for a few seasons. Best of all riding all show horse and youngsters out on a trail, which I have enjoyed the most, and still do now. I am a great believer that a balanced horse needs a variety in life.

“I have been very lucky to have ridden and learnt from some of the most amazing horses and met some truly inspiring horsemen on the way”.

After finishing my studies, completing my diploma in banking and having worked in marketing for a few years, I have decided to leave my homeland and my heart led me back to horses. I have spent the following years working in different yards all over the world to broaden my overall knowledge and horsemanship skills including working with Show Jumpers and Eventers in Oxfordshire, UK, training and riding Western Horses in Northern Ireland, 3 years training horses in Scotland where I proved even a Clydesdale can ride western and slide to stop 😊 and 2 years in natural horsemanship centre in Spain, where I “fell in love” with the Iberian horses’ and their unique temperament and trainability.  It was in Spain where I have ridden some special horses and learnt how to perform more advanced manoeuvres. Some of the horses which were produced in Spain and UK were successfully placed in BAPSH and Dressage competitions in the UK.

In 2012 I have spent 4 months working /training quarter horses for reining trainer Mark Turner Training Stable in Indiana, USA. I was involved in starting young show horses as well as competition horses and showing. It was a valuable experience and we developed a great friendship.

Few years later, I have accepted a new job offer and worked for couple of years as a yard manager/trainer &coach at wester riding/glamping business Loose Reins in Dorset. It was then, when I also became a WES approved instructor.

Now still based in beautiful Dorset I offer freelance teaching and training for horses of any breed and ability. My main goal is to build a long lasting relationship between the horse and the rider based on trust and understanding and produce a confident and emotionally balanced horse.

I believe in continued learning and am always keen to keep up with the new training ideas and methods, taking part in regular clinics and workshops. I am inspired by a lot of horsemen but mainly I am inspired by horses.
