This work is not mine alone.

I acknowledge with deep respect the teachers, institutes, organizations, and horses who have shaped my learning over time. Each contributed in ways that cannot be separated, ranked, or fully named. Some offered formal instruction, others mentorship, opportunity, challenge, or example. Many of the most important lessons came directly from the horses themselves.

This page exists as an offering of gratitude and recognition.

I honor the educators, practitioners, and institutes who shared their knowledge, skills, and philosophies, and whose teachings continue to inform my hands-on work.

Most of all, I honor the horses—especially Demi, who led the path.

Those who allowed touch.
Those who said no.
Those who taught me patience, humility, and listening.
Those who trusted me, and those who challenged me to slow down.

Each horse offered wisdom that could not have been learned any other way.

Lineage is not a list of accomplishments.
It is a living thread—carried forward through practice, respect, and responsibility.

I remain grateful to all who came before me and continue to guide my work, whether named here or held quietly in memory.
