I value harmony and understanding of both horse and rider biomechanics as well as mental and emotional wellbeing.

building a thriving Riding Relationship with your horse mean compromising your values

Meet Larisa Quirk

What sets my program apart is my unwavering commitment to harmony between horse and rider. I believe true success never comes at the expense of a horse’s wellbeing or the rider’s confidence. Instead, I focus on creating training experiences that build trust, foster understanding, and develop lasting partnerships that shine both in and out of the arena.

I realized success with horses should come from partnership, trust, and respect rather than force or shortcuts

Having experienced the challenges of today’s competitive and often overwhelming horse world, I grew tired of the traditional, one-size-fits-all training approach.

As both a rider and trainer, I value harmony, clarity, and understanding in the partnership between horse and rider.

My work emphasizes biomechanics as well as the mental and emotional well-being of both partners.

I believe that true empowerment for riders comes from knowledge, effectiveness, and independence in the saddle.

When you join my program, I’ll meet you exactly where you are in your riding journey.
