Heather / Praise
Many years ago, Heather took up horsemanship to fulfil a lifelong desire to ride and eventually train. In seeking out guidance on what path best to follow she was advised to investigate the Parelli Method of Natural Horsemanship. She excelled and has never looked back and continues to train.
Through her training process she became aware of Near Infra-Red Light Therapy for horses and its calming and healing powers. To advance her own skills and her desire to help riders and horses, the decision was made to educate to a higher level and she now holds a Certification in RLT. As well as the Light Therapy, Heather offers advance technology to owners and animals with the use of PEMF scanning to give full clarity to ‘what’s really going on’ in the body. Heather has gained professional designations in the fields of Train Your Seat Equestrian Bio-Mechanics Coaching and also Near Infra-Red Light Therapy through the Photonic Health company and AOPP.
Her new career path and training now affords Heather to offer private lessons for the Train Your Seat Equestrian (and clinic formats) along with horse therapy through her training in Near Infra-Red Light Therapy for animals. With the new addition of the latest state-of-the-art Realistic Equine Simulator, Dressage Pro, in her personal studio, Heather can take riders into their riding with more confidence and skill to move through their riding pleasure or to high levels of competition levels sooner!
Heather is fully trained/certified in:
- Equestrian Pelvic Power Trainer
- Equestrian Ball Trainer
- Equestrian Breathing Trainer
- Equestrian Lower Leg Trainer
- Equestrian Shoulder Trainer (Shoulder/Jaw/Elbow/Hand)
- Photonic Health Light Ambassador (AOPP Certified)
- Reiki 1 (advancing to Animal Reiki)

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT HEATHER
- Heather was very knowledgeable, and I really enjoyed my experience with Cassidy. When I was able to apply information I gained from my session on Cassidy, I was much more aware of my balance and my seat bones in all of the gaits. This also helped me to transfer an awareness of being able to feel, engage and be more aware of the horse’s hind end. Thanks so much for a fantastic experience, Heather and Cassidy! Thorndale
- Thank you! We all took so much away from our rides. I know I’m visual learner, so it was remarkable to be able to put the pieces together between feel and the physical. You’ll see us again! AM, Thorndale
- Amazing experience!! So worth it! Can’t wait to get to do it again in the spring!! AP, Chatham-Kent
- I went to visit Heather who is a 3 Star* ‘Train Your Seat’ instructor which is a fascinating program that teaches rider biomechanics and embodiment that allows us to understand our body in the saddle and how we can improve our riding thru a better mind and body connection. Heather has tons of knowledge to pass on and I found my session packed full of valuable insights!! I’ve never learned this much in a traditional lesson on a real horse! The simulator allows a rider to truly focus on their body so it’s a very invaluable tool. Every rider who is seeking improvement needs to book a session with Heather. Michelle D, Niagara area
