About Us....I'd love to help you achieve your long distance riding dream.
Your horse is more capable than you think, he is only limited by your imagination. Your horse wants to trust you - I'll gladly show you how to achieve this... |

I have been riding the trails in the European Alps since 2004 with my own horses while exploring the rest of the world with local breeds. The Alps pose a special challenge for the “horse-man” team – with the goal being to return home safe and sound. The mountains make teamwork a must. We learn to trust our horses, just as much as they learn to trust us. They are capable of far more than most people would ever think. As a guide and instructor I teach what I have learned from them and what it takes to give them the security they need.
I am a Longrider
I am a guide FITE and instructor in the the Swiss Horse-Trekking Academy
and member of the VFD, DWA and ASRE

I was raised on our homestead in Wasilla, Alaska where I came into contact with horses for the first time. Later, living in Germany I bought two Arabian horses for my daughter and myself, and after a while Peter took over Flash from our daughter.
After moving to Switzerland with Peter we started raising Quarter Horses and while he was exploring the world I studied equine nutrition and health. In 2019 I moved back to Colorado in the US, where we now live with our horses near Colorado Springs.
