Your horse's problems, solved by you.
I've spent years fixing dangerous habits and neglected feet hands-on. Now I coach you to read your horse, correct the behavior, and keep those hooves sound — so the fix sticks long after I drive home.

Not another trainer who does it for you
Most help disappears the day the professional leaves. My whole approach is built so the skill stays with you and your horse.
You learn the "why"
I don't hand you tricks. You'll understand what's driving the behavior so you can head off the next one before it starts.
Sound feet, no shoes
Natural hoof care that builds a stronger, self-maintaining foot — and teaches you what a balanced barefoot trim should look like.
Care that lasts
Behavior, feet, feed, and facility all connect. Fix the system, not the symptom — and your horse stays safe and comfortable for the long haul.
Five ways to a better horse
From dangerous ground manners to the diet under those hooves — pick a starting point, or let's sort out where to begin together.
Small, sometimes seemingly harmless issues/behaviors, even ‘cute’ baby antics, when left unchecked, escalate and turn into aggressive and dangerous actions.— Kelly Eynon
Owners who can finally handle it themselves
My mare wouldn't load without a fight for two years. Kelly didn't just load her — she showed me exactly how, and I did it alone the next morning. That's the difference.
We pulled shoes on Kelly's advice and I was nervous. A season later his feet are the healthiest they've ever been and I finally understand what I'm looking at when I pick them out.
Our senior gelding has special needs and every vet visit felt overwhelming. Kelly built us a feeding and turnout plan we can actually keep up with. He's thriving.
in the barn
I used to fix the horse. Now I build the horseman.
For years I was the one who showed up, corrected the behavior, trimmed the neglected feet, and left. It worked — until the same problems came back because nobody at home knew what changed.
So I changed how I work. Today my job is to put the knowledge in your hands: how your horse thinks, how a healthy barefoot hoof is shaped, what to feed, and how to set up a barn that keeps trouble from ever starting.

Tell me what's going on. We'll figure out whether it's a behavior, a hoof, a feed, or a setup problem — and make a plan you can carry out yourself.
Two decades in the barn, distilled into what you can do.
A horsewoman's path from hands-on problem-solver to the coach who teaches owners to keep their own horses safe, sound, and settled.
It started with the "problem" horses
Trailer loaders that reared. Youngsters that bucked under saddle. Horses labeled dangerous and written off. That's where I cut my teeth — because those horses taught me the most about how behavior really works.
Along the way I kept running into the same second problem: feet. Long toes, under-run heels, hooves crippled by bad shoeing. So I dug into natural, barefoot hoof care and watched horses come sound that people had given up on.
But the pattern nagged at me. I'd fix things, then get the same call six months later. The horse hadn't failed — the knowledge just never made it to the owner.
Put the horsemanship back in the owner's hands
My mission is simple: leave every owner more capable than I found them. Not dependent on me — able to read the horse in front of them and respond with confidence.
Because the safest, happiest horse isn't the one with a trainer on speed-dial. It's the one whose person understands them: their behavior, their feet, their feed, and the place they live.
I'd rather teach you than keep you
- Coaching, not dependency. You leave each session able to do the thing yourself, with homework you can actually manage.
- Whole-horse thinking. Behavior, hooves, nutrition, and environment are one system — I look at all of it, not just the loudest symptom.
- Barefoot by conviction. I've seen what a balanced, shoeless foot can do — and I'll show you how to keep it that way.
- Always learning. My methods keep evolving with my own study and the work of the best trainers I can find.
Consultation that leaves you capable.
Every service is built around teaching. You'll walk away understanding the problem and holding the tools to handle it — behavior, hooves, feed, special needs, or the whole facility.
Simple, steady, and built around you
No mystique, no dependency. Three steps from first call to confident owner.
We talk it through
You tell me what's happening — the behavior, the feet, the feeding, the setup. I ask the questions that get to the root, and we decide where to start.
We work side by side
On your property, with your horse, I demonstrate — then hand it to you. You do it while I coach, so the skill lives in your hands, not just mine.
You carry it forward
You leave with a clear plan and simple homework. I'm a text away when you need me, but the goal is a horse you can handle on your own.
