BUILDING TRUSTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH CONFIDENT HORSES

BUILDING TRUSTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH CONFIDENT HORSES

The first step to achieving your goals with any equine, is a solid foundation based on patient, clear, and consistent training. This is the most fulfilling gift you can give to your horse.

Carriage driving is such a wonderful way to enjoy time with horses — especially the miniature horses and ponies who are too small to ride. It requires a confident, willing partner who enjoys their job just as much as we do.

Giving your young horse the life experiences they need to become brave, willing partners requires patience and confidence on our part. The training and care they receive heavily influences the rest of their life.

Welcoming. Kind. Non-judgmental. Warm. Professional. Teacher-at-heart.
All words to best describe Kirsty. I was looking for a driving instructor to grow my basic knowledge. I was new to the Bucks County area, took a lesson, attended a few of her driving clinics, and was drawn to her patience. Not once was I ever made to feel out-of-place, that any question was dumb, or shouldn’t be asked. My goals are to continue to grow my confidence, and be better tuned into what my mini needs to be happy on his cart. Time is well spent when with Kirsty!

I’ve been training with Kirsty for more than a year. After over 7 years of unsuccessfully trying to train my miniature horse to drive using books and videos, I saw her advertise for lessons, and began.
Now I’m able to successfully ground drive my little man, and I suspect we’re very close to actually driving with a cart! Her training me on well trained driving horses has allowed me to get the knowledge and confidence needed to train my little guy much more effectively! Not only that, but what she teaches me in driving lessons has also been helping me greatly in riding!

I’m so excited and happy for Kirsty’s new adventure. I know her as my friend and trainer.
Kirsty’s passion and dedication are genuine. She honestly wants you to succeed in riding and feel confident. She’s truly an inspiration. I struggled with fear after a fall last year. Kirsty’s kind and gentle nature has helped me so much in gaining my confidence back. I look forward to every lesson with her. She has taught me so much on and off the horse. Jasper was one of the sweetest horses ever. I loved seeing his beautiful little face every time I saw him.

Meet the Trainer
Horses truly changed my life. They’ve always been my guiding force when it comes to my passions and career. After losing my soul horse, Jasper, in the summer of 2025 I truly questioned whether I wanted to stay in this industry or not. The thought of continuing on without him remains a hard one to hold onto. Thankfully, being surrounded by a number of wonderful horses and their owners, I was reminded why I got started training and teaching in the first place. After many tears shed, I decided it was time for Opal Grove Equestrian Coaching to come to life.
