Teaching The Art of Reading the Heart

    The Sensible Horsemanship Programs are just that; sensible.  Balanced between thoughtfully gentle and consistently firm, they are designed to be enjoyable and applicable.  These clinics, lessons and programs are developed to give you the personal education you need to become comfortable and confident in creating the relationship you desire with your horse.  The goal is to connect you with your horse by teaching you sensible, hands-on exercises that will reduce frustration and make your partnership possible.  You are personally invited to come and join this fun-filled, incredible journey that will make your goals a reality! 

   Ann Kirk’s life-long experience with horses and natural gift for teaching make the perfect combination for learning.  In 2005, she was personally selected and completed the first Josh Lyon’s Accreditation Program which speaks well of her talent.  This program fine-tuned her knowledge for finishing horses and improved her ability to recognize missing elements that reduce peak performance.  Yet Ann’s heart is with the every day person just wanting a better connection with his or her horse.  This includes everyone from the high level performance trainer to the backyard pleasure rider; all are welcomed to learn.

Ann resides on a ranch in the mountains of Eastern Washington with her husband, Jim.  She is available for clinics, lessons, demos and speaking engagements and is willing to participate with her skills in fund-raisers and club functions.
