WELCOME TO
TRAIN WITH INTENTION
Training guided by biomechanics, timing, and clear communication — creating riders who understand their horses, and horses who perform with balance and trust.
What We Offer
Comprehensive Training and education for horse and rider.
Speak Kindly is a full training and boarding facility offering a complete program for horses and riders at every level.
Our Riding Academy provides lessons and horsemanship education designed to develop capable, confident riders through a thoughtful, biomechanics-based approach.
Every horse in our program is in full training, ensuring consistent development, structure, and individualized care.
While we oversee all aspects of horse management, our students are encouraged to take an active role — grooming, tacking, and learning day-to-day care as part of their training. This hands-on model builds responsibility, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the horse, creating true partnership both on the ground and in the saddle.
WHY SPEAK KINDLY
Where thoughtful training builds balance, trust, and lasting results.
Because how we train matters. At Speak Kindly, we believe progress comes from understanding and patience — not shortcuts. Our program emphasizes clear communication, correct biomechanics, and consistent training focused on balance and timing to enhance the horse’s natural movement. Whether you have big goals in the show ring or simply want to deepen your connection with your horse, we help you build a partnership founded on trust, balance, and respect.
Our Approach
Training horses and riders to move with balance, purpose, and connection.
Biomechanics & Balance — Teaching riders to feel and influence movement through alignment, timing, and posture.
Consistency & Clarity — Every session builds on the last, focusing on communication and confidence.
Ethical Horsemanship — Training through respect, understanding, and patience.
Partnership & Purpose — Building trust, strength, and longevity
Where passion meets purpose
Speak Kindly is more than a training program —
it’s a community
built on shared values, mutual respect, and a commitment to doing right by the horse.
We believe great horsemanship extends beyond the arena.
It lives in the quiet moments — the time spent learning, listening, and showing up for your horse and the people around you.
Our community is made up of riders, owners, families, and supporters who value patience, integrity, and growth just as much as performance.
The name Speak Kindly comes from a horse who taught us what true partnership means — the kind that’s earned through empathy, understanding, and trust.
That lesson continues to shape everything we do: from the way we train, to how we teach, and the environment we create for our students and horses.
When you ride with Speak Kindly, you become part of a team that believes in doing things the right way — with kindness, consistency, and purpose.
