About Lucinda-

She began riding at age 4 and trained in Classical Hunt Seat and Show Jumping until age 14. After raising two children, studying Early Childhood Education and Sociology, and running several businesses for over 28 years as a CEO, she returned to horses 30 years ago at 41. Her small Arabian, Nemo, became the heart of her journey back into horsemanship-his story is one of many featured in her book Being Herd.

​

Lucinda has since developed a deep, science-informed understanding of horses built through decades of hands-on experience, study, and research. At heart, she is both a researcher and a teacher-always eager to share what she’s learned.

Her teachers and mentors include:

• Dr. Stephen Peters- Neuroscientist and author of Horse Brain Science: The Neuroscience of Ethical Horsemanship

• Dr. Marthe Kiley-Worthington- Equine ethologist and author of Horse Watch: What It Is to Be Equine

• Jaak Panksepp- Founder of Affective Neuroscience and author of Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions

• Sharon Wilsie- Founder of Horse Speak® and author of Essential Horse Speak: Continuing the Conversation
