I help equestrians who want to honor their intuition and be mindful of their impact on their horse.

Because at the end of the day, you genuinely choose to do right by them and actively seek out ways to do so. 

And you shouldn’t have to do it alone.

MY MISSION:

To empower equestrians with the tools and knowledge to embody mindful horsemanship. 

I’m Samantha Friesen, and I work with equestrians who are ready to embrace mindful horsemanship. 

I have spent the last decade on the journey towards mindful horsemanship and honoring the relationship between horse and rider. Immersing myself in the mechanics of movement, I took a keen interest in the nervous system and trauma work.

I focus on bridging the gap between a rider’s personal goals and honoring where the horse is physically and mentally.

Are you struggling with…

Your horse “just not feeling right”

Undiagnosed or chronic lameness

Aggression or behavioral problems

then you’re in the right place…

Feel Validated

Feel connected

Feel empowered

I am passionate about showing people just like you how to call back your power and build a relationship with your horse that not only deepens your bond but embraces a partnership based on connection. 

I pride myself in meeting you exactly where you are, mentally, physically, and spiritually. 

"It is not up to me to decide what should stay and what should go. It is merely up to me to listen, facilitate, and take only what the body decides it no longer needs to hold onto."

The 3-step approach:

STEP ONE

Get a clear foundation on the posture and connection you and your horse are currently presenting. Honoring your intuition, we will walk through the postural dysfunctions and communication blocks you and your horse are experiencing. 

Once we have a clear picture of the foundation, we will work from a space of emotional regulation, psychology, and biomechanics to help you and your horse shift your beliefs and seek connection. Including bodywork and movement, I’ll show you how to improve the connection with your horse and develop effective posture.

STEP TWO

STEP THREE

Finally, we will develop a plan that honors you and your horse’s emotional and physical state, while still working towards your goals. This is where the magic happens and I hand the power over to you. Because at the end of the day, It’s the little details you change over time that creates magic.
