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.

FAQ
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 the latest Courses and Clinic Demonstrations to new Horse Development sessions and Quick Wins, as well as the Monthly Q&A Call, we’re constantly adding content to keep you inspired, effective, and progressive with your horses. For Premium Members, the Weekly Livestream offers up to 1-1/2 Hours of fresh Horsemanship content every single week, in addition to the expanding content of the Basic Membership. The Savvy Mentorship takes this to a completely different level, offering the opportunity to get direct coaching for your specific horsemanship needs every week, as well as join a group of like minded horsemen in the Savvy Mastermind, and even get a surprise gift box with horsemanship goodies, every month!
What if I have questions about the instruction?
Every equestrian has unique challenges and questions, and we’re here to answer them. In our Monthly Q&A sessions, YOUR questions take center stage. This is your opportunity to get personalized advice from horsemanship professionals. It’s not just about providing answers; it’s about offering solutions that work for you and your horse. As well, with the Weekly Livestreams included in the Premium Membership, you are able to ask questions in the live chat about the current demonstration, or in the Community Forum about any of the growing number of Livestream Archives. 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.
Does it matter which Membership I START with?
Not at all! At The Savvy Equestrian, we understand that your needs and goals may evolve over time. That’s why we’ve made it easy for you to adjust your membership level to match your current horsemanship. Whether you’re looking to access more features or adjust your investment, you can Upgrade all the way to a Savvy Mentorship or Downgrade to a Basic Membership at any time directly from your Member Dashboard. This flexibility ensures that your experience with us can grow and change as you do, always providing the right level of support and resources you need.
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. 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 levels 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.
Do I have to make any long-term commitments?
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.
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 any membership level, is freely available for you to view and study at your own pace. We do have weekly and monthly live events in the form of the Weekly Livestream and Monthly All-Member Q&A Call, and it’s recommended to attend them live for the Q&A Sessions, but all 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. The Savvy Mentorship includes Weekly One-on-One Video Coaching, where you send your own footage of your horsemanship in every week, and receive 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!
