About Gigi ...

Gigi Iacovelli teaches horse lovers how to train and ride their own horses. For over twenty years, Gigi has been helping horse owners find and fix the holes in their horse’s training. She has helped over 200 students solve their horse problems by discovering a new level of connection and understanding with their horses.

She works one on one with you and your horse to uncover the roadblocks that have limited your ability to teach your horse to become a good partner for you. Gigi starts with an evaluation of you and your horses abilities and then formulates a plan for progress.  You’ll learn to find the holes in your horse’s training and how to fix them.  Your relationship with your horse will be at the center of consideration while you learn how to train your horse.  You’ll learn how to think like a horse so you’ll be able to answer that age old questions like Why did my horse do that? How can I get my horse to …? And How can I stop my horse from …?   By working with Gigi, you’ll discover a new level of connection and understanding with your horse that enables you to solve your own horse problems.  Gigi will work with you and your horse at your level using groundwork for teaching and learning while offering invaluable guidance and advice on your riding skills and abilities.

Gigi has been a 3* Parelli Natural Horsemanship instructor since 2009. Prior to teaching, she spent over 30 years with horses: owning, riding, competing in United States Dressage Federation dressage shows and United States Eventing Association horse trials, foxing hunting, volunteering with local horse rescue agencies, and managing her own horse farm. She continues her horsemanship education yearly riding directly with Pat Parelli and other advanced level trainers.

"Thank you for the lesson last Thursday. Couldn't be better! You opened a lot of doors for me - I have my checklist to use for daily ideas. You are very supportive and your Parelli instructor techniques are loud and clear (or soft, however you want to view it!)" ... D. K.
