Professional training programs tailored to your horse’s needs, from groundwork to advanced disciplines.
Trust • Drive • Timing • Feel • Consistency
At Riverwood Ranch, our training program is built on real ranch foundations — not theory, not shortcuts. Horses are developed in both the arena and the ranch environment, gaining exposure, purpose, and practical experience that creates willing, driven, and confident partners. We take a limited number of client horses at a time to ensure each program is intentional, individualized, and results-driven.
With a strong teaching background, Megan works closely with owners throughout the process — providing video updates, written progress reports, and hands-on lessons so you understand not just what your horse is learning, but how to confidently carry that training forward. From colt starting to problem-solving and performance refinement, our goal is a trusting, responsive partnership where you are consistently in control of your horse’s movement and mind.
Megan brings a lifetime of ranch experience together with a professional background in education, creating a rare balance of practical horsemanship and refined instruction. Raised in the industry and seasoned through years of colt starting, barn management, cattle work, and competitive involvement, her foundation is built on real work—not theory.
A graduate of the University of Alberta with degrees in Human Ecology and Education, Megan holds a permanent Alberta teaching certificate and graduated with honours in agricultural leadership. Her background in professional education gives her a distinct advantage in developing riders with clarity, structure, and confidence.
As a certified Canadian Cowboy Challenge Judge, she upholds elevated standards while remaining grounded in working-ranch principles. Known for her precision in teaching feel, timing, and leadership, Megan develops willing, responsive partnerships built for lasting performance.
“We strive for a willing, driven, and trusting partnership with our horses—where leadership, feel, and timing allow us to confidently and consistently guide both their movement and their mind.”
