Michelle Young creates a safe and encouraging learning environment where both horses and students are seen as individuals. She provides a well balanced approach to working with horses, taking the whole picture into consideration, with a focus on mutual understanding, relaxation, connection and healthy biomechanics.
Michelle empowers and inspires her students to be independent learners and to bring out their inner potential, to grow and to work through challenges. She always lets her students know why a certain exercise or skill set is important before asking them to do it. She breaks things down into small pieces that are easy for both you and your horse to understand and successfully learn. Michelle strives to incorporate these principles into each video she creates.
Michelle has been teaching and training for over a decade. She has experience and knowledge with a wide range of horses and students and specializes in helping you build a strong foundation with your horse, create greater connection and partnership, as well as improve confidence and communication, both under saddle and in groundwork.
Michelle puts a high value on continuing education and has had the opportunity to train with a number of amazing mentors over the years. In addition, Michelle is a Dressage Naturally Licensed Instructor and is passionate about using the Dressage Naturally system to help both horses and riders find harmony and healthy biomechanics.
Michelle has set up the Connected Horsemanship Community to serve you with not only educational videos but also with Q&A calls where you get a chance to connect with her about your individual needs. There, she will answer your questions and help direct you to the videos you need most, for whatever goal or challenge you have at the time.
