In this episode Nikki and Nadine have a great chat with friend and trainer, Dan Northrup, of Northrup Quarter Horses. Nikki and Nadine wanted to bring you a well rounded conversation about selecting a trainer, sending your horse to a trainer and what ideal communication looks like throughout the process and knew that Dan’s diverse experience as both a client and trainer would be a great fit! Dan shares his experience as a client and also some great tips if you are looking to send a horse to a trainer sometime in the future.

Your Hosts

Nikki Porter
Nikki Porter is an author, equestrian mindset coach, and podcast host. She teaches equestrians how to grow their mindset to shift them from feeling disconnected, frustrated, and anxious to connected, present, & confident.
Her teaching translates seamlessly into equestrians’ work with their equine partners, allowing them to become the horsewoman or man they long to be while navigating their personal growth journey.
Nikki is an empowerer. She uses her teaching experience from the classroom and the barn to allow her to access her client’s limiting beliefs and guides them to clear up their communication with themselves and others.
