Seven Hills Training is expanding! Our new Monroe, WA facility opens November 1, offering 22 stalls, indoor and outdoor arenas, and a dedicated rehabilitation barn. We’re growing our dressage training and equine rehab programs to better serve riders and horses across Western Washington.

Inspired by a post from Lee McLean at Keystone Equine, I share lessons from years of working with horses needing a second chance—how to balance empathy with structure, avoid defensive riding, and care for ourselves while helping horses heal and rebuild trust.
