Michelle has created the Connected Horsemanship Community specifically to help you!

  • Would you like to build a stronger connection with your horse? Where both you and your horse are relaxed and happy to participate? 
  • Do you want to increase your confidence both on the ground and in the saddle?
  • Would you like to develop more understanding between you and your horse?

  • Are you looking for someone who can help focus you and your horse in the right direction, empowering you on your horsemanship journey?

I want to offer you the help, encouragement, and inspiration you need to make real progress. In addition to having over 300 educational videos, the Connected Horsemanship Community offers a monthly focus and Q&A calls, fun challenges, as well as ongoing support and inspiration.

I know if you’re here, you want more than just videos, you want to have someone to talk to and support you in your horsemanship journey. I myself love connecting personally with each student and it is an important aspect of the Community. I want to help give you the confidence and knowledge you need to excel in whichever direction inspires you!

Member Feedback

“Meeting in the online class community with Michelle and her students has given me strategies and a mindset to independently solve situations and work towards a stronger connection with my horse. Riding with the classroom has brought a new focus to the foreground for me, my horse´s relaxation, my leadership, and building a trusting partnership. I am motivated to practice the ideas that come up in the classroom and I have found more confidence in my riding. I would recommend the online classroom to anyone who wants to feel connected, happy and passionate about riding. “ Leslie Comrie

“I love the monthly virtual meetings as Michelle has created a community of like-minded horsemanship people. It helps to have people with whom to share my horsemanship Journey. Michelle gives us great ideas of exercises to try with our horses and helps to refocus us if we are confused or frustrated. I love her theory sections. I have learned so much on a variety of topics that have directly helped me with my riding. The virtual group expands and deepens my understanding of riding. I have found it a great opportunity to take a step back and think more clearly about where I am going with my riding and my relationship with my horse.” Erica Levy

“Michelle’s Community is a must do to gain a deeper understanding of your horse! I have learned many new skills in the Horsemanship group. I enjoy the depth at which we study each aspect of working with our horses in an effort to improve their lives.

I also appreciate that the emphasis is on how to assess and make informed decisions in any situation. This has improved my confidence when working with my horses. I believe that no matter your ability or discipline, everyone would benefit greatly from joining the group.”

Q&A Calls

The monthly Q&A Calls are video teleconferences via Zoom. Calls typically start with a short sharing of wins or successes. During the remainder of the call questions will be answered. Priority is given to questions sent in more than 24 hours in advance of the call. If there are more questions than Michelle can answer in the time frame of the call, she will pick the questions that are most relevant to the group. A detailed schedule of calls is available when logged in.  Members also have access to video recordings of each call. So, even if you can’t make one of the calls, you can still submit your question to be answered and you can watch later at your convenience.

  • The Community Q&A calls are monthly, on one Tuesday evening of each month, 4:00 – 5:30 pm PST.
  • Call reminders will be sent via email two days in advance.
  • Call dates are posted 3 months in advance.
