DISCOVER WHAT IS POSSIBLE TOGETHER

Horses as a life long commitment - an accomplished dressage rider and skilled horsewomen.

Ariel’s passion for horses began at a young age on her family’s farm, where she was deeply involved in horse ownership, breeding, starting, and competition.

With the support of her parents and mentorship from renowned clinician Arthur Kottas, she expanded her education beyond her home province of Nova Scotia—training with world-class horsemen and women across both English and Western disciplines.

While developing a broad foundation, Ariel also pursued dressage at the FEI level, successfully competing two horses, WinniePuuh and Sedona, and proudly representing Canada at the Florida International Youth Championships and multiple North American Youth Championships.

Currently, Ariel spends her winters in Florida and summers in Canada, continually immersing herself in the highest levels of sport and education. She believes every discipline offers valuable insight, adding depth to a well-cultivated skillset. Her connection-based approach emphasizes the importance of mental, and physical well-being for both horse and rider, using strategic, adaptable training to build confidence, enhance abilities , and encourage harmony.

    Ariel is an excellent teacher. she can meet you where you are at on all levels. My horse loves her. She has a ways of communicating with horses that’s respectful and enjoyable. Wether its training ; lessons ;clinics Ariel is top notch.

    One thing I really like as well is Ariel is constantly looking to continue her learning as well as a teacher, coach, and a rider. she is training constantly, self improvement.”

  • Kim

    “Ariel clearly demonstrates the use of soft and effective aids and is patient and encouraging while focusing on the wellness and relaxation of the horse.

    Her training maintains a balance between teaching technical skills and fostering personal growth.

    It is a pleasure to learn from Ariel and grow my knowledge during my time training with her in Florida where I take lessons on one of her personal horses.”


  • Melissa

    “ Ariel has a beautiful way of picking up on what’s happening between horse and rider and how they can improve their communication and performance together.

    Ariel has a wealth of knowledge and her clinics have helped my daughter really develop. Overall great experience and my daughter is looking forward to another clinic!”

  • Sarah & Batman

    “I have had the privilege of working for and with Ariel for the last year. she has a wealth of knowledge and a quiet confidence that horses and people respond well to.

    Batman is my 3 yr old Arab that Ariel has done 60 days training with. He w/t/c under saddle and we are thrilled with his progress. To have her now work with him in a clinic settings perfect exposure.

    As a barn owner and instructor I love watching Ariel work with my students/ boarders. She is super positive and encouraging and they love learning from her.

    I highly recommend Ariel for clinics, lessons, or training. You will NOT be disappointed!”

  • Katie & Thor

    “ Ariel is a wonderful coach and trainer, working with Ariel was a privilege and I am grateful my horse Thor got such a great foundation during his 90 days training.

    Ariel treats her client horses like her own, where the horse’s wellbeing is top priority. The training process was easy and she kept me updated constantly.

    I haven’t met a lot of trainers who give the horse's owner lessons as their horse is being started to maximize communication between horse and rider promoting success for the future.

    she has a positive and warm attitude and is knowledgeable in her approach working with all levels and disciplines.

    Now since the winter off Thor bounced back this spring like he never stopped working. “

  • Katie & Casey

    “Anyone who has horses can benefit from working with Ariel!

    Casey my 24 yr old thoroughbred is not an easy horse to understand. Even in his senior years his separation anxiety around horses and new places can be challenging to manage at times, as self regulation is difficult for him.

    I brought Casey to 3 Clinics with Ariel, in hopes of helping him to learn a few coping strategies to manage his stress as well as increase my own skills working with horses.

    Casey still has separation anxiety but is learning to handle that, before we worked with Ariel taking Casey into an empty barn without any horses or friends inside would not be a safe idea or option.

    While Thor was away for training last year, Casey did well without Thor. None of that would have been possible without Ariel.

    He is slowly learning that he will be ok, without his friends. ”


  • Abbie & Keeper

    “Ariel provided me with excellent coaching tips and exercises on the ground riding our ride alongside us.

    This was my second clinic with Ariel and I thoroughly enjoyed it just as much as the first one! Ariel is warm and friendly which quickly puts you at ease.

    I love that she works with you on your goals and that she respects your horses age , level and fitness.

    My horse is 24 and Ariel was so great at getting his background and made sure we worked within his (and my ) abilities.

    My horse Keeper is very at ease with Ariel and I truly feel that our lessons have set us both up for future success maintaining the longevity of Keepers health and fitness.

    I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone from any discipline or experience level.”

  • Lakeisha & Phanny

    “This was my first clinic with Ariel, I felt she really took the time to explain everything to me very well as I am still a beginner rider.

    I quickly relaxed under her direction and found her teaching useful and supportive. I appreciated her praise and guidance as it helped my confidence through my ride and helped me connect to Phanny better.

    After my experience I would eagerly be taught again by Ariel!”
