We are a husband and wife engaged in all aspects of hosemanship that can be fitted into two busy work and family lives.  We ride, train, think and write about horses. Michele’s earlier career as a dancer, gymnast and fitness trainer and Stephen’s extensive background in kinesiology, physical education and somatic practices, provide the foundations for how we are with horses and how we teach others to be with them.

We pursue the discipline of dressage, basing it on ‘ground play’ with horses and on the practice of circus, flow and meditative arts that prepare us to be most tactfully, and creatively responsive to our horses. Michele’s earlier career as a trainer and presenter of Arabian horses, and Stephen’s lifelong love of riding, come together in a decade-long betterment of ourselves through horse ownership.  We are presently immersed in all matters Andalusian, having ridden these magnificent beings in Europe and acquiring two of our own.  We pursue, in partnership with Spartacus de Plata (Sparky) and Mystique’s Lucente (Lue), the precepts, traditions and practices of classical dressage.
