Instructor ~ Guide

Becky is a lifelong creative spirit who seeps curiosity and imagination into everything she does. At home, she shares her space with Ivy, her lovable handful of a Doberman, and Ava, a once-feral cat she gently coaxed into becoming a devoted companion. Animals have always had a central place in her life, and she holds space in her heart for all of them.

Becky began exploring the horse world at a saddleseat lesson barn and immediately fell in love. As her interests evolved, she spent time riding at a hunter/jumper farm, but continued searching for a place where learning was valued without competition as the measuring stick. During this time, she also volunteered steadily at a therapeutic riding center for children with special needs, where assisting in sessions and building relationships with students became some of the most meaningful work she had done.

The first time Becky visited Bramblewood, something shifted. For the first time, she felt genuinely welcomed as a beginner and supported in her growth. Her interests expanded beyond riding into groundwork, lunging, clicker training, and liberty work, particularly through her partnership with Pepper. That relationship laid the foundation for a deep respect for natural horsemanship and positive reinforcement as tools for building trust, communication, and mutual understanding.

Over the years, as Becky assisted, learned, and grew alongside us—and as Bramblewood itself continued to evolve—she has remained integral to the heart of our work. She is currently studying equine bodywork and is deeply focused on developing her intuition: learning to listen to the horses, the land, and the quiet cues that guide true connection. Becky is thrilled to share her knowledge, care, and passion with her students at Bramblewood.
