Services

Private instruction

Marlis will travel to your site to work with you and your horse. She'll help with whatever
difficulties you're having. Her services are completely dependent upon your individual
needs. Issues may include improving ground manners, clipping, bathing, deworming,
lungeing, establishing trust and respect, trailering, standing for the farrier, tying,
mounting, desensitizing, or under saddle issues. Each session is an hour and a half long and
you're left with a "prescription" to follow. Marlis handles your horse only for a short time in
a session, for evaluation and diagnostic purposes. The remainder of the time she coaches
you through the process.

The fee for a session is $65 plus travel expense based on mileage to your site. When you
contact Marlis she'll give you the quote to include travel. If she is already working in your
area on the day of your appointment, your travel expense will be split.

Clinics

Clinics are offered throughout the year at many different locations. Marlis travels along the
east coast working with individuals at a particular facility, or giving full day clinics. Please
check the Event Schedule page for a listing of upcoming clinics.

If you would like to host a clinic at your facility, please contact Marlis directly. Hosts
participate in the clinic at no charge as a "thank you."

Special Groups

Marlis offers her clinics at a drastically reduced rate to help the horses and people
involved in non-profit activities. Two of the groups she is currently helping are the fosters
for the Equine Rescue League and the volunteers for Therapeutic Riding Programs. If you
are interested in having Marlis teach both horse and humans in your organization, please
contact her!

Speaking Engagements

Marlis truly enjoys sharing what she has learned with an audience. She "retired" from her
previous position as a college professor to spend all of her time with horses. Teaching is
one of her loves. Presentations are dynamic and packed with video footage demonstrating
horse behavior and solutions for owners. She fills in the "why" behind behavior.
