Donna is an avid horseman with a passion for helping people overcome barriers and challenges and be their best self.  As the founder of Evolution Horsemanship, she is known for her unique teaching style that empowers her students and clients.  While living her life’s mission of helping horses and humans, Donna found her true path, passion and purpose of helping others be their best self through true horsemanship.  In 2018, she purchased a beautiful 55-acre Ranch in Florida as her home base for teaching her unique Lifemanship and True Horsemanship Programs.  As a Retreat Creator, Facilitator and Instructor, Donna helps people find their authentic joy and gratitude – the kind you feel deep down in your heart – by helping people get truly connected to themselves and others.  Which makes their unimaginable…possible.

​

Throughout her 30-year career, Donna has helped thousands of people feel seen and heard.  With her business education and as a co-founder and leader of a non-profit organization for 20 years, she created and oversaw facility construction, developed and led 3 capital campaigns, created programs, developed youth leadership opportunities and connected family with disabilities to support and resources.  She also provided hands on direct services and training as a Certified PATH instructor and Special Olympics Certified Coach for special equestrians and was a Parelli Professional.

 

As a horse teacher/trainer, she embodies the teaching model of True Horsemanship.  She is committed to teaching the foundation of true horsemanship to all students and horses in her program so that they can live in harmony with clear communication, understanding and a mutual desire to advance their partnership.  Donna helps students create beautiful moments of being in sync with fluidity when working with their horse.  Moments where all the techniques and tools seem to disappear and the oneness between rider and horse takes over; where the horse is responding to just the student’s intention.

​

Donna has deep gratitude for her life opportunities with horses and it gives her incredible joy to share her passion, knowledge and and gifts with others.  Donna has studied with top professionals from around the world.  In her early years, she started with her first pony at the age of 6 and joined 4H and pony club.  By the age of 16, she was starting and developing horses and began teaching students.  She went on to study with an Olympic Dressage Athlete and Coach where she got to ride and show Grand Prix Dressage Horses.  Later, she went on to study Natural Horsemanship and became a Parelli Professional.
