Dominique Barbier has been one of my favorite equestrian authors for years. Getting to be a working student at his farm this year as well as watching Dominique teach at the Barbier Farms annual symposium this past weekend has been an experience like no other.

It has been an immense privilege and opportunity to learn about the Barbier philosophy and method of dressage training, and the icing on the cake (which still feels unbelievable) was being offered the chance to have my new book available at the symposium as well. What a humbling honor to see Quantum Horsemanship on the display table during symposium, and it felt surreal to be asked to sign copies.

Most importantly, the greatest blessing of the fall Symposium 2024 has been continuing to further and deepen my own knowledge about lightness, harmony, and ethical horsemanship, thanks to the incredible team at Barbier Farms.

I'm honored and happy to share that copies of my book, "Quantum Horsemanship," will be available at this annual symposium!

Thank you to everyone who has supported the success of my new book, Quantum Horsemanship, which is still #1 in New Releases in Equestrian Sports and peaked at #5 in Equestrian Best Sellers yesterday!

Because of the interest, I have made my book available on Kindle as well.

The paperback cover (left) is black with a white stripe down the binding as a subtle nod to yin and yang. As ebooks don't have binding, an updated cover design is available with the Kindle edition.

Quantum Horsemanship is also now available on Kindle Unlimited.

September 10th marks the World Health Organization's Su***de Prevention Day. It is a subject near and dear to my heart, although I struggle to find the right words.

Within the equestrian community, there have been numerous su***des by notable professionals, and the su***de rate in veterinarians is alarming.

May we treat fellow horse lovers as fellow human beings - with love, kindness, and compassion.

May we think before we speak and act. A single word can change a person's life forever.

Hope is always possible.

I, myself, am grateful to be alive.

“No matter how light, soft, or balanced you think you are as a rider or trainer, there is always room for improvement. You never stop learning, and you can always go deeper in your knowledge. The quest for lightness is ultimately an endless pursuit.” - Current working student Sarah Serfling

I had the opportunity to write a blog post for the Barbier Farms website about their working student program.

5 years ago, as of this month: my first "mini clinic" with Willow, teaching groundwork at a summer camp 🥰

Enjoyed reading this book earlier this year. Highly recommend, especially given the current climate of Olympic dressage.
