After a lifelong journey of chasing her dream to combine her love of horses and special needs children, Brittany opened Equility Therapeutic Horsemanship in May of 2017,  Her experience with both, dates all the way back into her early adolescent years.  Her horseback riding career started in the Saddlebred industry, showing the fancy high steppers, with her first horse being just that.  Eventually, she moved into other riding disciplines such as Dressage, Western Pleasure, Ranch, and good old trail riding.  Working alongside several amazing horse trainers, Brittany decided to pick up on training horses herself with the help of a few mentors.  She discovered Natural Horsemanship when she was 19 years old, and it changed the way she saw the horse industry. Over the last 20 years, Brittany has worked with hundreds of horses using Natural Horsemanship and has been very successful. All of the horses at Equility are trained by Brittany herself, and are some of the safest horses you will ever meet.  She has loved horses since she was a toddler, and that has not changed.  Her knowledge and experiences in the industry range from Equine nutrition and overall health, to breaking young horses and galloping race horses. 

Brittany's experience with special needs children goes back to when she was 14 years old.  She started babysitting children with special needs at 14, and volunteered at Down Syndrome of Louisville and at Green Hill Therapy.  ​ All through High School she volunteered as a Mentor with Partners for Youth with Disabilities and still continued to volunteer at Green Hill Therapy off and on throughout College,  In her adult years, she worked in the medical field and became educated on different diagnoses and worked along side many Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapist.  Having spent so many years volunteering at a facility that already incorporated the use of horses to treat children with disabilities, she was then offered a job to work at the facility.  She spent several years in many roles such as Barn Manager and Horse Trainer, Office Manager, Book Keeper, Volunteer Coordinator, and Facility Manager.  Eventually, she saw a need for something a little different in the community than what was being offered and decided to finally take a chance and embark on her lifelong dream.

Therapeutic Riding is different from Hippotherapy.  Individuals have the opportunity to learn the basics of Riding in TR when capable, in addition to using the horses movement as a treatment tool.  They also get the opportunity to brush the horses and spend time on the ground with it.  Brittany is a Therapeutic Riding Instructor and Equine Therapist.  With over 20 years of experience, and being certified in Therapeutic Horsemanship and being a Parelli Professional, she has a lot of knowledge to share and someone you can count on, and someone who truly cares.
