horse Training Services
At Opal Grove Equine Coaching we work to build trusting partnerships with confident horses. Training is completely tailored to each individuals needs and goals. This foundation will allow you to go in any direction with your horse as they progress.
foundation training
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
Training a horse to the carriage requires consistent dedication both in and out of the cart. Safety is always top priority. It is easy for the inexperienced to miss crucial steps, leaving holes in their training that often need to be filled in later. Starting them right the first time is well worth the investment.
young horse handling
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.

jolene VITALOS
Carriage Driving Student
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!

carriage driving lessons
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. Lets accomplish your driving goals together!
partnership coaching
Equestrian sports are unlike any other in that they require dedication outside of the discipline to build a harmonious partnership between human and horse. This requires a coach that is understanding and supportive to both sides of the relationship.
weekend carriage driving workshops
Once a month we host a carriage driving workshop at our Ottsville, PA location. This is a day of learning all about carriage driving in a small group settings with both our horses or yours.
Each workshop explores different topics and skills to be developed for drivers. These workshops are open to anyone interested in learning more about driving horses.
