In addition to her IJA Judges’ License (including IJA Dressage) and NAWD License to judge Six Feet on the Ground and Western Dressage, Alece held judging cards for multiple gaited breeds. Alece believed that the correct use of the training pyramid is important for any breed or discipline and is committed to building a solid foundation of rhythm and relaxation.

Alece dedicated her life to teaching riders the importance of equine biomechanics and how to assist the horse to become balanced and supple with the use of this knowledge in their ground and under-saddle work. Alece said “the relationship between form, function and gait is my passion” and to that end works to help riders and their horses develop a relaxed, soft and unified relationship. Alece lived in east Tennessee with her 2 Rocky Mountain Horses and 1 Tennessee Walker.

“THE GOAL:  To see riders/handlers and their horses develop a relaxed, soft and unified relationship. “
