The practitioner behind the scenes; Bethany Carlson

My passion for animals began by spending summers on my grandfather's ranch in western Nebraska. This is where I was first introduced to horses and where I learned to ride. My deep love of animals continued to grow throughout childhood and followed me into my college career. I have an Associate's degree in Business Management through Post University as well as an Associate's degree in Equine Science through SUNY Morrisville. At Morrisville, I studied numerous equine classes, including training, nutrition, and rehabilitation. I then proceeded to become certified in the Amassage Method as an Equine Massage Therapist through the School of Midwest Natural Healing for Animals (MNHA). I offer all-inclusive bodywork sessions that meet the horse and the human where they are at. I have been teaching horse lessons for 11 years and am excited to now offer lessons with a Soulful Horsemanship lens that prioritizes honoring the horse first and foremost. All lessons have a focus on the whole horse and learning the basics of care and communication. You can come learn with my horses or I can help you get more connected with your own horse. I specialize in beginner lessons for all ages with an emphasis on maintaining a low pressure environment. Helping clients find the right horse or find the right home for their horse is another service offered by BraveHooves. I have helped many friends and family with the process of buying and selling horses. I am now pleased to offer this service to the public. Please reach out with any questions.
