Julia Wertz, a second-generation horsewoman, has been immersed in horsemanship from a young age. She was born with a passion for horses, and spent her early years spending hours with her family horses, learning natural horsemanship due to her mom’s experiences. Through this time she sparked an ability to assess horses’ behavior, perform at liberty, and help problem horses find solutions to be better partners.

In early adult life she knew she wanted to be a horse trainer so she went straight into honing her skills and learning many new ones through internships with world-class horsemen and women. Their expertises ranged from dressage and English sport horses to colt starting and creating Californio Vaquero-style bridle horses. 

She spent years developing these skills further while starting and riding training horses for the public, teaching, and day working as a buckaroo on ranches throughout the West. She understands that horses as your partner for both play and work create meaningful relationships with solid foundations.

She continues helping students create trust-based partnerships with horses. Her passion for teaching drives her to help others unlock potential, build confidence, and find joy through horsemanship.

Blending her wide background Julia employs a comprehensive, well-rounded approach aimed at building strong foundations for any discipline. 

Her goal is to foster success, confidence, and harmony in every horse and rider she works with.
