Bio:

Jody is an International Grand Prix Dressage rider whose life and career were forever changed by the discovery of Equitation Science. Her journey began as a traditional rider, but everything changed when she realised that training horses isn't just about riding - it's about unlocking their potential through a deep understanding of how they think, learn and respond. Today, Jody is one of the world's foremost authorities on applying Learning Theory to competitive horse training. With over 20 years hands on experience working across the globe, she has developed methods that solve even the most stubborn behavioural issues while always prioritising the horse's welfare. Her work is driven by a passion for creating ethical training environments where both horse and rider can thrive.

Based in Raglan, New Zealand, Jody breeds and competes Lusitano horses in both Dressage and Working Equitation. However, her true passion lies in teaching riders who are lifelong learners, ready to think outside the box, embrace innovative techniques, and pursue excellence without compromising their values. Whether clients are facing challenges in the arena or simply want to deepen their partnership with their horses, Jody is dedicated to guiding them every step of the way.
