YOU’RE JUST SECONDS AWAY FROM THE ESSENTIAL TRAINING, ADVICE & SUPPORT YOU NEED TO BECOME THE PARTNER YOUR HORSE IS DREAMING OF!
STOP US IF ANY OF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR...
- You want to have a great relationship with your horse, but don't know where to start...
- You are thinking about purchasing a horse of your own, but have little to no experience...
- You've spent countless hours trying to build trust and understanding with your horse, and you're sick of the frustration of not understanding their behavior & not knowing how to support them...
- You are taking lessons to prepare for horse ownership, but simply want more confidence that you're heading in the right direction...
- Your skillset is quite good, and you’re a proficient rider, but it feels like something is missing between you and your horse…
- You’re struggling to stay motivated with tackling your horses behavior “issues,” and you’re not enjoying your sessions or rides…
- You're finding decent information, but have nowhere to turn for support when you have a question specific to your horsemanship journey...
If any of these things resonate, then you already know what a minefield it can be trying to find the right answers for you and your horse.
That is what inspired the creation of
The Savvy Equestrian!
I was fed up with hearing stories about well-intended horse lovers, just like you, feeling stuck in their pursuit of True Horsemanship, thanks to:
- Not having any instructors available locally, or having a hard time getting on their schedules.
- Having to rely on local instructors who don't inspire confidence that they actually "know their stuff," or not knowing what questions to ask to determine if they do.
- Feeling frustrated with their horse’s behavior and feeling like a failure for not being able to support them.
- Everyday struggles like; trailer loading, standing tied, head or ear shyness, trouble with standing for mounting, not wanting to be caught, bad for the vet or farrier, barn, buddy, or gate sourness.
- Further struggles such as; being “pushy” or crowding them on the ground, running through or ignoring their aids while riding, bolting, bucking, refusing to go forward, won’t slow down, kicking, biting, rearing, spooking.
- Not having real one on one access to a professional when they need it the most.
- No local instructors who truly “get” their horse.
Thankfully, all of that is behind you…

Ashley Dudas is a student of The Horse. Specializing in Equine Behavior and Psychology, with a background in Natural Horsemanship, as well as young horse training and development.
Ashley started her career with horses in the English Performance World, when she met a horse who demanded she change her approach entirely. At first she thought the horse was the problem…as it turns out, the horse that changed her life was just terrified of the world, and completely misunderstood. How she was being “trained” was the problem… in reality, she wasn’t being trained at all. Once Ashley’s eyes were opened to the world of Horsemanship as an Art Form, the relationship with her first Super Horse was saved.
Ashley is dedicated to helping horses and the humans who love them reach their full potential. Her passion is to help individuals develop the habits and skills they need to effectively communicate and understand their equine partners and achieve the level of horsemanship and partnership they are dreaming of! Whether you are a beginner, a competitor looking for an edge, or someone who needs support with developing your green horse… Ashley will offer assistance all along your path of achieving you and your horses goals, no matter what they may be.

No. You are free to cancel your membership at any time, right from your Dashboard. Access to membership content or features related to your membership level will remain available for you until the end of that payment term.
Our commitment to your satisfaction goes beyond providing high-quality content and community. We believe that part of respecting our members includes making it straightforward for you to leave if you decide that our membership is no longer the right fit. To reiterate, you can cancel your membership at any time directly from your Member Dashboard, with no hoops to jump through. We’ve always disliked products that make it hard to unsubscribe, and we’ve ensured our process is as easy and hassle-free as possible. Your freedom to choose what’s best for you is a priority for us at The Savvy Equestrian.
Are there any discounts for long-term commitments?
Yes, our yearly plan offers a significant discount over monthly billing, essentially three months free, providing an economical option for committed learners. You also receive Quarterly meetings with me over Zoom to keep you on track throughout the year.
How active are things inside of the membership?
Our content libraries are continuously expanding, ensuring you always have fresh, innovative resources at your fingertips. From a fresh Livestream events every week, the latest Courses and Clinic Demonstrations to new Horse Development sessions and Quick Wins, The Horseman's Hotline, and new Downloadables and Challenges, we’re constantly adding content to keep you inspired, effective, and progressive with your horses.

What if I have questions about the instruction?
Every equestrian has unique challenges and questions, and we’re here to answer them. In the Community Forum, weekly Livestream sessions, as well as The Horseman's Hotline, YOUR questions take center stage. This is your opportunity to get personalized advice from a horsemanship professional. It’s not just about providing answers; it’s about offering solutions that work for you and your horse. With The Savvy Equestrian, you’re never alone in your learning.
Is the membership simply a library of content?
While the content is a big portion of what we do here at The Savvy Equestrian, the intention is to make this platform far more than just a membership for content; it’s meant to be an invigorating community. Here, you’ll find a welcoming space filled with horse lovers who share your passion and dedication. Whether you’re seeking advice, inspiration, or simply a place to share your horsemanship stories, our Community Forum is the perfect place to connect. Together, we’re building a world where every interaction with our horses is informed, intentional, and filled with understanding.
Will my Membership price ever increase?
No, absolutely not. Whatever pricepoint you start your Membership with is the price you keep for the life of your Membership. So, if you start with the One Dollar Trial, whatever your full payment is after your first 30-Days, is the price you'll keep. We will be increasing prices periodically, as the value inside the membership continues to increase. But, as long as you don't cancel, your price will always remain the same. Though, changes in membership level will default to current pricing at the time of upgrade or downgrade.
Also, we recognize that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes, taking a break is necessary. To accommodate these circumstances, we offer the option to Pause Your Membership for up to 6-months. During this pause period, we’ll safeguard your current pricing, so when you’re ready to return, your membership will resume just as you left it. This feature is designed to give you peace of mind, knowing that you can take the time you need without losing the value of your investment in your horsemanship education.
What equipment will I need?
You don't NEED any particular equipment to start. Of course, we do recommend a horse! But even that isn't a requirement, we currently have members that do not have a horse, and are absorbing knowledge for when their life allows for it again, or for the first time!
There are certain tools that we highly recommend within our curriculum, with guidance on why they are recommended. But, nothing is NEEDED to begin improving your horsemanship with us.
Do I have to attend any classes directly, or on a schedule?
For the most part, no. The content available, at either membership level, is freely available for you to view and study at your own pace. We do have many live events in the form of the Weekly Livestream, as well as The Horseman's Hotline every month, and it's recommended to attend them live, but the Livestream events are archived, available for viewing whenever you please, and any questions you may have about any piece of content can be posed in the Community Forum, or by commenting directly on the content. The Savvy Mentorship includes Weekly One-on-One Video Coaching, where you send your own footage of your horsemanship in every week, and recieve a custom response. Also included at the Savvy level is the Savvy Mastermind, a weekly group meeting held over Zoom... but, the archives of these events populate in a library for later viewing as well.
What technology is required?
A computer, tablet, or phone... and an internet connection. That's it!
