Marcia Moore Harrison

owner, trainer, coach

Marcia has been riding and training horses for more than 25 years. As an adult, she opened her own barn, where she has deepened her passion to train horses and help people train their own horses. She offers services in all riding disciplines and draws from the experience of other trainers such as John Lyons, Lynn Palm and Bob Avila. She is an accomplished clinician, and through her training program provides a horse/rider partnership approach — from the ground to the saddle. Her expertise is founded on a three dimensional basis, where riders and horses become a complete package through compassion, learning and teamwork. Marcia is certified with the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association and serves the equine community as a guest speaker and presenter. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Idaho.
