Howdy, Horse Lovers! My name is Ashley Dudas, otherwise known as “The Savvy Equestrian” and I’m here to help you transform your relationship with your horse into the partnership of your dreams.
Starting out in the competitive English riding circuit, I was focused on performance, but feeling a disconnect with my horses on an emotional level. Everything changed when I met a horse so misunderstood that it nearly drove me out of the sport. This challenge pushed me to delve into natural horsemanship and equine psychology, changing my approach forever.
After more than two decades of teaching and developing humans and horses into partners, here’s what my training philosophy will teach you.
In order to be successful with your horse, you must have a clear understanding of equine behavior and psychology. Once that is established, you can then develop you and your horse’s skillset. As your skillset and understanding increases, real connection can be achieved. Only then is True Harmony possible.
Join The Savvy Equestrian today, and start on the path to becoming the partner your horse dreams of.
