Hi, I’m Simat Whipp.
Horses are my passion. I spent my childhood riding bareback at every waking moment…at least until I was strong enough to lug a saddle onto my horse’s back. For more than 40 years, I’ve ridden and shown horses in a variety of disciplines: from working cattle with Quarter Horses to showing Saddlebreds in the Dressage ring. To me, it’s not about a ribbon. It’s about the relationship.
Horse lovers around the world have lofty goals. But my goals are simple: I want you to have the best experience possible with the horse you have. Developing and maintaining a strong partnership with your horse makes the lifelong journey pure joy.
My Approach
I’ve worked with and talked to people from across the country about what riding means to them. If you desire to enjoy spending time in the barn while also learning to improve your “horse whispering” skills, consider combining your journey with mine.
Dream it
Since I was young, I wanted nothing more than to race out to the barn first thing in the morning. I still race out to the barn every day, but my goals have evolved. I still love the sweet smell of hay and the warmth of a winter bareback ride in the snow; all made sweeter by the special relationship I’ve built with my horses. It really is a dream come true.
Do it
Developing a relationship with your horse is about consistent, dedicated work. Together, we will develop a plan specific to your needs to help you progress on your journey with the horse you have.
