Aria Desert Rain
Positive Reinforcement Equine Trainer and Coach
About Aria
Aria's journey began when her first horse joined her family. Her horse was struggling with behavioral issues and in order to help him overcome those issues and blossom Aria became a positive reinforcement training specialist with emphasis in equine emotions. This training method is what Aria calls Compassionate Horsemanship as the focus is on how the equine feels about the training whether they are learning new behaviors or practicing old ones. Aria is very passionate about equine behavior, training and care practices. She currently has three horses in training, all in different stages. Aria's goal is to assist other equine owners during their own journey to achieve a connected partnership with their equines while addressing any behavioral concerns they may have.
