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.

"I have been loving this membership! I ride and work with the ranch horses, and mostly alone, so to have this network where I can go and ask questions, and get guidance, has reignited my drive to push myself again! I feel sometimes the end goals get more ahead of the process in my own mind some days, so to be able step back and get instruction again has been so wonderful!"

Sarah R. - Savvy Mentorship

"I am freaking loving this membership! I feel like this membership keeps me motivated and consistent to work with my horse. I also love how much I’m learning, including new exercises. I’ve trained a few horses, but I would have my trainer either tell me what to do, or I would copy other trainers, and no one ever told me why. I love how you always explain why.. how the horse works and thinks.. and how I don’t have to use "harsh" training. I also love how no matter what the question, you always answer, even if it's something not part of your courses or livestream, I could go on and on about this..."

Mirjam J. - Premium Membership

"I’m so thankful for Ashley, and all the advice and skills she shares, to help me become a strong horsewoman, to better understand and communicate with my mares, and also to be the partner they need me to be for them... both in their own ways."

Taylor - Founding Member

"Ashley has helped me tremendously in gaining confidence in working with and riding my three year old filly! I can't wait to see what we can achieve with her guidance. She truly has the heart of a teacher!"
