In the heart of a 360 panoramic view in Paicines, California, resides Coach Vickie, a third-generation horse trainer with an impressive 40 years of experience in the Hunter/Jumper world. For the past two decades, she has been the driving force behind The Yard Equine Rehabilitation Center, where she has transformed the lives of countless show horses and created a nurturing haven for retired equines.

But Vickie’s journey didn’t stop there. Recently, she expanded her passion into horse lover health coaching, helping competitive equestrians unlock their horses’ gut health and training potential to stay fit, sound, and injury-free during competitions and beyond, all while guiding riders to become masters of themselves. "We are what we think and eat," she believes, emphasizing a holistic approach to support gut health and optimal fitness.

Adopting this philosophy, Coach Vickie integrates nutrition, mindfulness, and bodywork into her training. Her success stories are abundant, including the rehabilitation of a horse with severe digestive issues, who returned to the show ring stronger than ever.

Certified in various equine therapies, Vickie empowers riders to discover new perspectives and unlock their inner champions. With her love for horses as friends and partners, she fosters growth and healing for both horse and rider.

At The Yard, amidst family and furry friends, Vickie shares her knowledge through workshops and local events, guiding equestrians to soar to new heights. Join her on this transformative journey, and unlock the champion within you and your horse today!
