Elevate Your Ride: Virtual Coaching and Consulting with Taylor Douglas

Expert horsemanship shouldn’t depend on where you live.

You don’t have to ship your horse across the country to get professional, award-winning insights. Whether you are refining elite maneuvers, troubleshooting a groundwork roadblock, or looking to sharpen your own mental game, Virtual Coaching & Consulting brings my eyes—and my support—to your arena.

The Standard of Quality: Technical & Mental Foundation

At Happy Horses®, we prioritize the horse's long-term foundation over "quick-fix" training cycles. But we also know that a healthy horse starts with a healthy human. This program is designed for the dedicated rider who wants to do the work themselves but needs a professional roadmap to ensure both horse and rider are staying soft, balanced, and mentally grounded.

How It Works

• The Submission: Once a month, upload a 10–15 minute video of your work (groundwork or under saddle).

• The Consulting Session: Along with your video, you can submit a summary of where you are at mentally. Are you feeling burnt out? Lacking confidence? Struggling to stay present in the saddle?

• The Critique: I provide a detailed breakdown of the session, analyzing your horse’s biomechanics, your timing, and the "feel" of the partnership.

• 1-on-1 Deep Dive (Optional): Need to talk it through in real-time? Enrollment gives you the option to book one-on-one video or phone calls to discuss your technical progress or mental performance hurdles.

• The Action Plan: You’ll receive three technical "homework" drills and one mental performance strategy to focus on over the next 30 days.

Why Choose Virtual Coaching & Consulting?

• Keep Your Horse Home: Access professional oversight without the 4-month separation of on-site training or the high shipping costs.

• A Holistic Approach: We don't just fix the horse; we support the rider. This is a safe space to talk about the mental side of performance and cowboy culture.

• Consistency Over Intensity: Build a lasting foundation and a healthier mindset at your own pace.

• Professional Accountability: A monthly submission deadline keeps you in the saddle and focused on your technical and personal growth.

Rooted in a Greater Mission

At the heart of Happy Horses® is a commitment to the well-being of our entire community. We believe that by opening up the conversation around mental health, we can change the cowboy culture for the next generation.

This program is closely aligned with the values of the Caring for Cowboys & Cowgirls Foundation® (CFCC). We are dedicated to ensuring that no one in our community—whether in the arena or on the ranch—has to walk their hardest moments alone. By investing in your own growth and mental performance here, you are joining a tribe that values healing, legacy, and the strength it takes to ask for support.
