Teaching Philosophy & Methodology

​

It doesn't matter what the "issue" with your horse is-

• Horse trailer loading

• Barn sour

• Hard to catch

• Will not cross water 

• Unable to concentrate

• etc, etc, etc.

​

These issues are all exactly the same thing and can be solved with the same approach and by understanding what is going on with the horse at that moment. This is difficult to comprehend at first, but it is true. For any problem, Intentional Horsemanship is the solution.

​

Lucinda’s work is grounded in Equine Ethology, Neuroscience, Horse Speak and "Emotion, Learning & Memory"- the core components of her framework called The Equine Mandala. This approach bridges the gap between academic research and everyday horsemanship, making complex science accessible, practical, and deeply humane.

​

She has spent the past 7 years studying and putting her Intentional Horsemanship program together. 

​

An early adopter of Horse Speak®, Lucinda became a Certified Horse Speak® Practitioner and is highly qualified to teach this evidence-based form of equine communication. Her presentations and clinics consistently receive enthusiastic reviews from participants.

​

She has worked with BLM mustangs through the TIP Trainer Program, rehabilitated psychologically compromised rescue horses, and studied the teachings of Tom and Bill Dorrance.
