Marina working with a horse at liberty

Horse training for peoplewho don't want towhip, hit, or scare their horse.

Hi, my name is Marina but many know me as Gypsy from the YouTube Channel Gypsy Equestrian.

I love expressing myself through comedy and thrive when my life is full of laughter. I am passionate about ethical training practices and found Positive Reinforcement training when I began working with my second wild Mustang, Zurreal.

I dove head first into this unknown world and struggled finding resources that gave me support and answers to make progress with my Mustangs. I read every book, took courses and attended seminars, but I still felt like the information was lacking. It took a lot of trial and error, and studying the science behind learning theory, before I really began to succeed with this type of training.

Now I want to help others who may be in the same position as I was, lost and lonely. With my background in teaching and a passion for R+, Positive Horse Training was born. It began locally but now I am thrilled to bring this online and invite more equestrians into this amazing space.
