Licensed Dressage Naturally Instructor Michelle Young will be coming to the Victoria/Saanich area on November 7th 2025 to offer private or semi private lessons. Lessons can be focused on foundational horsemanship, groundwork or riding, or on improving your horse's biomechanics and harmony in movement. Contact Katleen at [email protected] for more information and to book a lesson spot.
Michelle empowers and inspires her students to be independent learners and to bring out their inner potential, to grow and to work through challenges. She always lets her students know why a certain exercise or skill set is important before asking them to do it. She breaks things down into small pieces that are easy for both you and your horse to understand and successfully learn.
With her amazing ability to transform the relationship between horse and rider, Michelle helps you get connected, feel safe, and love working with your horse, giving you the knowledge you need to excel in whatever direction inspires you! She supports horses and their riders find their inner potential and accelerates them towards success.
Michelle has been teaching and training for over a decade. She has experience and knowledge with a wide range of horses and students and specializes in helping you build a strong foundation with your horse, create greater connection and partnership, as well as improving confidence and communication, both under saddle and in groundwork.
Michelle has always put a high value on her own education and has trained with some amazing mentors. She began her horsemanship journey studying with Marion Weisskopff, who over seven years, taught her great foundational skills as well as colt starting, working with foals and yearlings and ground driving. Michelle also studied Jonathan Field’s horsemanship program for 10 years and continued to broaden her foundation and improve her groundwork and riding skills. In the past, she worked as his assistant at his clinics, camps and tours. Most recently, Michelle has been training with Karen Rohlf of Dressage Naturally and has studied Karen’s system for the past ten years. In January 2021, Michelle was honoured by Karen’s invitation to be a Licensed Dressage Naturally Instructor and is excited about incorporating the Dressage Naturally system to help both horses and riders find harmony and healthy movement.
