About Zoë

My speciality is teaching people how to get good with their OWN HORSES!

It is all well and good when a Horse Professional like me shows you how it can look with my horses but
what I can teach YOU is how to do it with your own horses.

I cover all areas of horse training, in no particular order here are a few:
Problem solving, Young horse starting and re-starting, psychology, general skills, Trailer-load-IN, riding, groundwork to liberty, bit-less riding, gymnastics, bridle-less riding, Dressage of the Masters from groundwork and in-hand to riding, Natural Horsemanship to level 5, bravery training, obstacle & equitation, La Garrocha, cow work plus much much more.

I believe it is our obligation to simply be loyal in return”

About Kheelen

Butterscotch Dun Connemara Gelding born in 2010.

He is my business card, sidekick and partner
of all things wonderful.

He travels with me all over Europe
and is educated in many disciplines including
Liberty, Freedom Riding, Academic Art of Riding up to Piaffe in-hand and under the saddle, Parelli Natural Horsemanship level 5, Stockmanship, Archery, La Garrocha, Working Equitation
and much more.

Often mistaken for a Spanish breed due to his unusual height and stature; he melts the hearts of many on first meeting and has me in a spell of love every moment I am with him.

About Benny

Smokey Cream/Cremello Mini-Shetland Gelding born 2013.

Also known as Mr. Cool or Mr. Floof he is
a welcome addition to our family.

The giggle making machine is certainly a character and will challenge not just your horsemanship skills but also your heart.

He has started his education at Liberty and a little Academic work, who knows, this little floofster just might learn it all, but we are not in a hurry and we are just happy to offer him a nice home.

About Marques

Dun Lusitano X Gelding born 2019

Marky Mark is not my horse but I take care of him and am responsible for his education from wild child, to mild, to a fabulous partner in all disciplines.

Alongside his owner we have some amazing plans for this handsome guy and guess what?

I can share that with you too!

You can watch his full training and ongoing process in my Online Training Platform.

GGWH Members get full access to his journey where I teach every skill all horses need in order to be successful in our world.

About Mia

Dark Brown Irish Sports Horse Mare
R.I.P. 16 April 2000 – 20 August 2020

My muse, my love, she left this physical earth much
sooner than we ever wanted.

Never forgotten she was also the inspiration of my award winning book:
‘The horse that broke two legs & survived’!

It feels only right to keep her mentioned here.
She was my Parelli Levels training horse and from around 2015 due to health complications she was retired from actual work.
She also learned the same education as Kheelen and had been with me since she was 7 months old.

I miss her indescribably and am so thankful we met.

My teaching comes from the heart;

My only hope is to touch and inspire horse owners of all experiences, disciplines and backgrounds to continue and learn how to better themselves in order to be the best they can be for their equine friends.”

Zoë is a really very talented author, trainer and a real horsewomen who puts her heart and soul into it. In her books she takes us on a wonderful journey and shows us many things from the horses' point of view. She also shows us how important the bond to the partner horse is and how this bond can be achieved without pressure. Her focus is always on the fact that both the human and the horse are always doing well.

In the book ‘For horse lovers: a pocket book of poems’, Zoë introduces you to the world of horses and takes you along. Beautiful how she gives horses a voice and gives an insight into how they really are and what they need.

Sabine SchaafsmaLong term student

Zoë is always full of respect, love and leadership and she is always eager to learn more for and about horses. Lucky for us she has the talent and the ambition to share her passion as well in real life as in words! Zoe's pocket book of poems is no exception. It's a beautiful mix of inspiration, laughter, recognition and confrontation. For anyone who strives to develop his/her horse(wo)man skills. Zoë brought much more joy into my relationship with horses and I feel
