Psychological approach to each horse and rider
Combining my passion for riding with my education in psychology, I’ve developed a unique teaching style that helps riders achieve their goals while building a symbiotic connection with their horse. Drawing from my years as Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel’s assistant, I use a variety of proven exercises to improve communication, biomechanics, and flow between horse and rider.
I offer three main teaching formats to suit your needs: virtual lessons, clinics, and mindset coaching. My training has no geographic barriers. I work with students worldwide, adapting to different time zones and busy schedules to provide accessible, effective coaching—wherever you are.
Virtual Lessons
Enhance your riding and deepen your connection with your horse from anywhere in the world with personalized virtual lessons. Whether you're looking to refine your dressage skills, improve connection with your horse, or develop a more confident mindset in the saddle, these sessions offer expert guidance tailored to your goals.
Clinics
Unlock your horse’s potential and refine your riding skills with a clinic designed to enhance biomechanics, connection, and sustainable improvement. With a focus on classical principles, rider position, and effective communication, clinics are tailored to meet the needs of riders at all levels and disciplines—from the seasoned dressage horse to the new rider struggling with confidence.
Mindset Coaching
Success isn’t just about technique—it’s about mental clarity, confidence, and focus. My mindset coaching program is designed to help riders break through mental barriers, overcome challenges, and ride with purpose and precision. Using proven coaching techniques, psychology and horsemanship knowledge, these sessions will help you develop the mindset of a confident and effective rider, a change you’ll see not only in yourself, but within your horse as well.
*In-person lessons and training are available on a limited basis in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Please contact Kerstyn directly for more information on availability.

"Despite having years of experience starting and working with young horses (and competing up to the FEII-1 level in dressage), I was having trouble connecting with, making progress, and developing a true partnership with my mare; we were frequently getting each other frustrated. I reached out to Kerstyn, and we had several one-on-one conversations discussing my challenges, frustrations, hopes, goals, etc. This combination of mindset coaching, along with weekly Pivo lessons has absolutely made the difference with me and my mare. It’s been such an incredible transformation for us. From frustrated communication to a calm, willing, positive partnership."
