For over a decade, my passion has been centered around sharing with, and guiding others towards achieving profound connection, oneness and cultivating more enriching relationships with their horses.
This journey goes beyond riding styles and saddle preferences – it's about fostering a deep bond between horse and human.
Embark on a gentle and transformative journey with my Work In-Hand and Vaquero-inspired lessons. These sessions not only seek to expand your knowledge but also delicately shape and refine your skills. Together, you and your horse will craft a subtle, soft language, both from the ground and the saddle.
Embracing this sense of oneness opens the door to a more profound and fulfilling relationship, something that may have seemed like a distant dream until now. Join me in discovering the beauty of connection and understanding that goes beyond your tack.
“I believe your journey starts from wherever you are right now.
It doesn’t matter how old your horse is, what discipline you ride, or where you are in your relationship – my programs build on your experience to refine your ability to understand and speak with your horse.”

She has this innate ability to know how far to extend me and my horses!
"Lynley is hands down the best instructor I have ever learned from.
I love how she puts the horse first, sand teaches us about communication, connection and awareness with our horses AND ourselves!
I have learnt a lot about exercises to help my horse become more supple, relaxed and responsive.
She is always positive, has a great sense of humour, and has this innate ability to know how far to extend me and my horses.
So That we continue to grow."
