NAWD Professional Amanda Verkman

Amanda’s first horse, a wild mustang, inspired her to start on a journey to become the best horseman she could possibly be for him. A horse-lover since childhood, she is dedicated to the study of horse behavior, horse psychology, and advanced horsemanship.

She has trained and competed in multiple disciplines and has developed a love of cross-training to showcase the versatility of well-rounded horses. She thrives on helping her students learn to build a relationship with horses through respect, trust, understanding and connection and her programs operate on a foundation of horsemanship-focused communication between horse and human.
