Welcome!
Elements Equine Bodyworks is a San Diego County western horse training and equine bodywork program focused on ethical horsemanship, correct movement, and clear communication between horse and rider. I work with beginner through advanced riders, helping horses and people develop a strong foundation in western horsemanship, ranch riding, and reining fundamentals.
My approach puts the horse first. Training is built around understanding the individual horse, developing correct biomechanics, and creating a willing, confident partner rather than simply teaching a horse to perform. Equine bodywork and sports massage complement this approach, providing another way to support comfortable movement and better understand what the horse is communicating through their body.

Western horse training in San Diego County.
Build your horsemanship, balance, communication, and feel while developing a stronger partnership with your horse.
My training program is centered around the horse first. I believe good training starts with understanding how a horse moves, thinks, and communicates, then building from there. I focus on creating a solid foundation of balance, biomechanics, communication, and confidence rather than simply teaching a horse to respond to a set of cues.
I specialize in stock-type horses and Western disciplines, including western horsemanship, ranch riding, and reining fundamentals. I work with riders from beginner through advanced and welcome horses of all breeds and backgrounds.
Whether you're starting a young horse, working through a challenge, developing an All Around prospect, or simply want to become a better partner for your horse, training is tailored to the individual horse and rider.
