Dressage & Equestrian Coaching
Dressage is a special sport that requires a substantial amount of patience and determination. The connection between humans and horses is amazing, and the sport of dressage can take it to the highest level. But, it can also be frustrating when we do not feel like we are making progress. These coaching sessions will give you the best advantage to succeed with your horse and your present trainer. No matter the age or the level there is something to gain when you improve the way you think about your riding.
Coaching Offerings:
- Introduction to Mindset and Performance
- Dressage and Mindset Coaching
- Horse Show Nerves
- Health Coaching for Trainers
- Other packages are available on request by contacting Nancy.
Coaching sessions can be done in person, by phone, or via zoom.

“Nancy is wonderful! She is a dedicated trainer, and I value her coaching very much. She has taken the time to get to know me, help organize my goals, and focus my attention. Nancy has also taken the time to get to know my horse, offer effective training tools and helpful advice. She is always patient, encouraging, and willing to answer all my questions. Working with her is a true pleasure!“

Premium Dressage Equestrian Training Videos
Happy horses perform best and if we don’t keep them safe there is no performance. Any horse owner will benefit from watching these videos, however, I especially designed them for people who are interested in helping out their trainer in return for riding opportunities. Many trainers need extra help, but do not have time to train people up to the standards of care necessary.
These videos do not give you the experience, which you will need. These videos do give you the knowledge to go into many situations with some understanding of the trainer and horse’s needs and will help prevent overwhelm.

“I have attended/watched several of the Carousel Coaching webinars and training videos – they are outstanding.“
