Every Horse is not the same
Each has their own needs & personality
The training process is NOT a "One Size Fits All" System
"Learn to speak in such a way that your horse loves to listen to you"
-Julia Williamson
Are you tired of watching a Clinician show you how to do something with an already trained and well-rounded horse?
Their fear-based and coercive approaches might work on well mannered horses with top bloodlines and clean backgrounds. But what about horses that...
...rear, buck, bolt, kick..
...are highly sensitive
...regress when faced with too much pressure
...shut down when using these old-school techniques
... get worse when applying their techniques
...relapse in their training progress
...aren't a clean slate to begin with
...have a specific problem that none talks about
AND
What about YOU?
Do those old approaches make you feel left out and incompetent, all while..
you are dreaming of...
…a horse that enjoys being with you as much as you enjoy being with him
…knowing exactly how to solve problems that have been a road block until now, like spookiness, fear of specific objects, bolting, bucking, kicking, resistance, trailer loading problems, pulling back etc
…truly understanding what your horse is telling you and why
…a deep connection with your horse
…a horse that enjoys training
…being able to read your horses emotions and feelings
…no longer having to fully rely on your trainer because you feel like you’re not “good enough” to independently work with your horse.
…having fun and truly enjoy your time with your horse
…feeling safe and empowered when interacting with your horse
…understand your horse in a way that you could’ve never dreamed of, science-based and backed in equine behavior.
That is what I will teach you & the Horse Center Academy© Membership
combines the course work and resources to make it reality

Results Without Force
Unlike many trainers who rely on coercion or excessive aids, The Horse Center’s techniques reject force in any form. Julia’s innovative methods create lasting results through trust, consistency, and positive reinforcement, making horses eager participants and learners rather than unwilling subjects.

Horse

A Unified Vision of Horse and
Human
The Horse Center stands apart by emphasizing the horse-human relationship as a true partnership. Unlike conventional methods, which often focus on control and obedience, The Horse Center prioritizes understanding the horse’s perspective, ensuring that both horse and rider thrive together rather than functioning under dominance.
Holistic, Transformative

The Horse Center goes beyond traditional training by embracing a holistic approach that incorporates the horse’s environment, nutrition, and lifestyle. This comprehensive focus ensures that the training program supports not just the horse’s performance but also its overall quality of life, setting a new standard in horsemanship.

With The Horse Center You'll incorporate cutting-edge behavioral science to ensure your training respects the horse’s physical and psychological well-being, fostering a relationship based on trust rather than submission.
A Revolution in Horse Training
Philosophy
At The Horse Center, the horse isn’t treated as a tool for performance but as a sentient being with its own needs, emotions, and communication style. This philosophy challenges the conventional narrative of dominance and hierarchy, replacing it with empathy and understanding as the foundation of every interaction.
Empowering Owners, Not Just
Training Horses
Unlike many trainers who focus solely on working with the horse, The Horse Center Academy places equal importance on educating the owner/rider. Through the academy modules, owners develop the skills to independently nurture and train their horses

What Clients Have to Say
Hey Julia,
Just wanted to let you know I am enjoying my time with Macie so much more these days! She is much more open to mutual communication with me and is taking direction so well. I can't thank you enough for helping her through the road blocks.
Hi Julia,
I just wanted to update you that Cascada is doing well and I can see more muscle development on her hind end and neck post colic surgery.
I applied the body work/ massaging techniques that you reviewed with me last week. It was so helpful to see with another horse and in person what to look and feel for. Thanks so much for connecting with me on this! It's been helpful to learn about this and how to apply it on my own. It was so helpful to see you work with your horse and help me get the feel for it.
Hi Julia,
You gave me some advice for working with my nervous horse by introducing more choice into what behaviors I ask for, like offering a target as an easy option if what I'm asking is too hard. I just wanted to say thank you! We had a wonderful training session today and she became way more relaxed. As soon as I noticed any tension I would ask for an easy behavior like a target and she would immediately relax again. She stayed much calmer and I feel much more confident about working with her. Thank you again!
Your techniques have helped me with building trust and now Chevy will go in the water for me. Thank you!
