ABOUT Joanna
My philosophy in horses and in life is simple: to pursue the fullness of our design and to unlock the potential within.
I began my experience with horses during my youth in English equitation, jumping and dressage. Since then, I have dedicated several years solely to study with a series of great mentors and instructors.
My current equine partners in crime are my two mares, Amber (Quarter Horse) and Charisma (Anglo-Appendix).
Particular acknowledgements and my deep gratitude go to the following organizations for their contributions to my ongoing education:
