Hi I'm Kaitlyn and I founded Kommon Sense Horse Training in 2016. I started Kommon Sense to be dedicated to teaching you and your horse how to make your time in and out of the saddle enjoyable and safe. I was an 11 year 4-H member and I rode and competed on Miami University's huntseat equestrian team. I've been working with problem horses and sale horses for 8 years and had an active lesson program and Show Team for the last 6 years. 

 

As a teacher and coach, I am very hands on throughout the entire learning process. One of my favorite things to do is introduce both students and horses to the show world and how rewarding it can be. My goal is to create a team that is supportive and makes everything fun no matter what they are doing

​

I currently compete in dressage, ranch riding, and my newest love, liberty! Dressage was not my first choice, Western is my true love, but dressage has held the answers for many of the issues I encountered. My favorite challenges are to work with those who suffer from anxiety when riding or showing as well as to help horses understand how to work with their 2-legged counterparts

 

My common sense training system is full of fun, practical techniques that will set you and your horse up for success no matter the experience level. I believe that using common sense beliefs about how horses think and behave naturally, gives us the extra edge when it comes to having them WANT to listen and become partners with us. When training and teaching my students, I focus on the horse understanding what is being asked of him. I have worked with horses from all walks of life from abused to spoiled rotten, from un-broke to deadhead, learning along the way that every horse is different, there is no " one way". I  recognized this and build Kommon Sense on all the foundation of knowledge I have acquired about different methods of training and I use that to find the one that best fits the horse and owner.

Check out lessons and training and come have fun learning with me!
