equestriOM™: empowering the ride of life

---

 equestriOM evolved out of decades of experience working with equestrians in holistic approaches and modalities. This proprietary innovation is Trademarked because it truly is the one-of-a-kind thought-leading pioneer in the emerging space of holistic equestrian training.

The vision began in Erinn's mind in 2015, after a decade of working with equestrians in yoga, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness, functional movement training, Pilates, and therapeutic techniques. 

Introduced to Vanessa by a mutual client, Erinn and Vanessa (pictured above during a sunset meditation with horses at the farm in Bedford) quickly identified the super powers of their collaborative work alongside each other in the ring, in mind-based coaching, and in movement-based conditioning. They recognized a shared vision and mission and together developed this powerful method of equestrian-attuned sport-specific training.

Vanessa fell in love with horses at a young age while taking riding lessons at a small family farm in Stamford, Connecticut. Far away from the show circuit, she nourished her passion while riding anything she could sit on in the back-country woods. That pressure free equestrian environment gave her the tools to understand the horse and approach training in less conventional way that has shaped the way she trains today.

In an effort to find balance in her hectic schedule, Vanessa discovered yoga. After several years of dedicated practice, Vanessa collaborated with Erinn to develop equestriOM, an innovative, sport-specific conditioning for equestrians. EquestriOM blends conventional training with yoga, breath work and mindfulness. Vanessa's unique style which incorporates a mindful approach to the training of both horse and rider incorporates a positive and relaxed environment to the stables. 

Vanessa is driven by her vision to empower riders both in and out of the show ring. The opportunity to inspire riders toward reaching their peak performance goals and spend every day with horses is a dream come true

Vanessa earned a B.A. at UMASS Amherst where the head coach of the riding program connected her with eventing riders Karen and David O’Connor. Vanessa worked with the O'Connor Olympic horses as a groom for two and a half years. The time with Karen and David's horses provided an unparalleled educated in the highest level of horse care and barn management. That experience that has proven invaluable throughout her equestrian career. 

Vanessa has worked extensively with Daniel Stewart and his Pressure Proof  Academy.
