Adventure travel trips with horses will have you looking within yourself to find balance, rediscover lasting joy, renew your spirit and guide you towards transformative revelations. During every trip, it is my mission to help you find those things through eye-opening and awe inspiring experiences.

It is truly my desire for you to live your best life everyday and through our initial phone coaching sessions and the adventure trip itself, I will give you concrete tools that you can use to bring happiness, balance and peace to your everyday life. Joy Rides trips are not about escaping your life for a week, they are about enhancing it for a lifetime. And, best of all, they are a complete BLAST!
