What people are saying

"Ruby’s workshop was beyond helpful! At the time we knew we were wanting to be horse owners in the next year or two but felt that we weren’t prepared whatsoever. Ruby went through everything one could possibly think of that would be helpful. Going through specific costs was one of the best parts of the workshop but even more was Ruby’s openness. I’ve attended a few of her workshops and she is always open to all questions, humble in sharing her extensive knowledge, and straight up about the realities of horse ownership, husbandry, and horse life! We now lease a pony and wouldn’t be able to feel confident in this chapter of our lives without the support that Ruby has provided us, no doubt!"

"A few words I would use to describe working with Ruby during the first year of getting my first horse would be; sanity, peace of mind, guidance, creative problem solving, and empathy. The first year can be overwhelming (whether it's your first horse or not, each one is so different!); filled with excitement, expectations, worry, successes and failures. I am so grateful to have had Ruby at my side during it all. She worked closely with me on a training and nutrition plan to slowly get my horse (and me) into shape. When some unexpected health issues came up for my horse that slowed our progress, Ruby provided the support and guidance to help me work through all the various appointments and provided guidance on ways to continue training throughout, building our bond throughout groundwork and clicker training. She has provided me with truly holistic guidance!"
