A Windfall alumni herself, Briahnna (Bri) has been riding and working with horses since she was 10. Her love of horses eventually grew tenfold when she received her first horse, Sully, who was a rescue. Through him she learned how to work with rescues and further her knowledge of training horses. From rescuing horses to starting colts, Bri has had numerous experiences over the last few years that have further developed her knowledge and experience working with horses. She has experience in showing Western Pleasure, as well as experience in Natural Horsemanship, Western Horsemanship, Western Dressage and Beginner Equitation. Currently, she is continuing her equine education and is getting her Equine Management degree at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. There she was a part of the 2023 Colts in Training Program where she successfully completed her first colt start.  She was also a member of the Horseman’s Association at the university. Bri’s passion and caring nature towards horses have allowed her to help many horses and train them to be the best that they can be. Bri exhibits a calm and collected manner while listening to the horse and helping it become more confident in its abilities. She uses natural horsemanship to ensure that all horses are treated with respect and kindness and helps them discover what makes them comfortable in their job. Bri’s goal is to one day help many horses discover their true purpose and help many rescues find their forever families and overcome any challenges that they may face.

As an instructor, Bri helps many beginners with their riding goals and encourages them to pursue their dreams. She is kind and exhibits great patience with even our youngest riders. Bri focuses on safety and ensures that her students enjoy working with their equine partners safely and with excellence in their horsemanship. Bri looks forward to teaching and helping many future equestrians begin their journey with our equine partners.
