Barbara Strawson — Journey to Excellence
In my own journey to excellence, I have learned that excellence takes time and a keen awareness of the horse. My training goal is to create a harmonious partnership such that the horse believes he can do anything that I ask. My professional goal is that my journey takes me to represent the USA internationally. I am committed to helping horses and riders find balance and harmony, and want to help you connect to the power of your own potential.
