“Ariel brings a level of knowledge and skill that clearly demonstrates the use of soft and effective aids. She is positive and encouraging while always focusing on the relaxation and wellbeing of the horse. I would highly recommend Ariel as a coach and trainer.”
“Clinics with Ariel really helped my daughter develop over the summer. She has a beautiful way of recognizing what’s happening between horse and rider and explaining how they can improve their communication and performance together.”
Connection-based training offers a more complete approach to horsemanship. By combining technical riding with a deep understanding of the horse, we move beyond mechanical repetition to prioritize true harmony. Drawing from international competition and world-class mentorship, our approach supports both high-level performance and long-term soundness. We focus not only on results in the arena, but on developing empowered horses and capable riders who move with balance and freedom.
Our program is built on thoughtful development and technical precision. With a consistent, horse-first approach, we develop willing, relaxed, and capable athletes prepared for long-term success.
We train for freedom of expression from a regulated nervous system — building horses that move with biomechanical soundness and longevity at every level.
We create horses that are happy in their work by prioritizing ethical partnership — connection over correction, every time.
We teach riders to read the horse in real time — eliminating guesswork and building proactive awareness that prevents issues before they start.
— Ariel Boesener
From a childhood on her family’s farm in Nova Scotia — where she was raised among horses, deeply involved in ownership, breeding, starting, and competing — Ariel has built a career around the language of horses. Mentored by world-renowned horseman Arthur Kottas, she has trained across English and Western disciplines, competed at the FEI level with Winnie Puuh and Sedona, and represented Canada at the Florida International Youth Championships and multiple North American Championships.
Today she splits her time between Florida winters and Ontario summers, immersing herself in the highest levels of equestrian sport. Her connection-based training method puts the mental and physical wellbeing of horse and rider first — building real empowerment and partnership, ride after ride.
