Dr. Susan Fay
Are the silent, yet powerful ingredients missing from most horse training techniques and riding instruction? As a research scientist and life-long equestrian, Dr. Fay spent more than two decades searching for scientific explanations for why some people are able to develop seemingly spiritual relationships with horses. She discovered that equestrians with this gift merely know how to use their natural abilities in a way that most of us were never taught. These abilities already exist inside of each one of us, so we merely need to understand how to use them. But we also need to be willing to open our eyes and hearts and let go of what we believe is possible.
Jack Lieser
I have spent over 25 years training hundreds of horses from all breeds and teaching horsemanship clinics nationwide. With a background in Classical, Natural and Western riding disciplines, I have my own style that emphasizes connecting and building a relationship with the horse.
I also coach clients around their life dreams and how to discover and act upon their Soul Goal(s).
My other interests are spending time with my wife, learning, fitness, health, regenerative farming, and studying the wisdom of the Bible.
Kenda Firkins
Kenda's passion for Cowboy Dressage comes from her multigenerational horse background of training, development, and showing.

Erin Paul
Erin is passionate about teaching all levels, breeds, and disciples; whether you ride English or western, do dressage or have never heard of it, love ground work or never do it, Erin would love to work with you.
Erin is a USDF Silver and Bronze medalist, and has trained her rescue horse up to Grand Prix Dressage. She is also a graduate of the Parelli Natural Horsemanship Program with that same horse, and has tamed her own wild mustang. She prioritizes correct movement in the horse and posture in the rider, drawing her philosophy from classical dressage and natural horsemanship. The most important thing to Erin is to have fun while building a strong partnership and foundation to serve you + your horse for whatever you want to do.
