What makes the Restart Program Unique?
Whether your horse is fresh off the track or was retrained but experiencing challenges, our mission is to help your horse leave old tensions and behavioral patterns behind to embrace a new way of thinking and being. We want your horse to THRIVE in their new lifestyle and partnership with you.
Here how we do it:
Rebalance
Improve your horses mental and physical statue through rebalance work to release tension and encourage relaxation.
Behaviors big and small are communication; learn what your horse is communicating and how you can help them find trust and confidence.
Restart
Teach your horse the foundational tools that will help them find balanced self carriage, and prepare you both for your first rides under saddle.
Retrain
Discover a harmonious, low-stress retraining experience. From walk trot and canter to first experiences out of the arena. You and your OTTB partner will be ready to pursue your equine dreams together.

I've seen Aurora's methods work successfully with many different horses of various backgrounds; from the off-the-track thoroughbred to the neglected broodmare rescued from the slaughter pipeline, Aurora's method sets a foundation for horse and rider to continue their training in the discipline of their choice.

Before working with Aurora Equine, I felt helpless and stuck. My horse was anxious under saddle, rushed at the canter and jumps and felt disconnected—other trainers gave me stronger bits and tight circles.
Now, I’m thrilled with our progress! My horse is more relaxed before and after our rides, can canter on a loose rein, and we’ve even even switched to bitless! Aurora Equine has truly transformed our partnership and renewed my hope for a happy partnership!

Before working with Aurora Equine, my horse was bracing and tense, showing little interest and feeling closed off. Our connection felt one-sided—I loved her, but she seemed disengaged.
After working with Aurora Equine, everything changed. I now feel amazing about our progress and the bond we’ve built. She’s blossomed, and her character has grown in incredible ways.
Jennifer M., CO
Before working with Aurora Equine, I was on the verge of retiring my OTTB. He was bucking under saddle, struggling with sleep deprivation, and seemed constantly anxious and unsettled, which only skyrocketed my own anxiety.
Since entering the Restart Program, I’ve witnessed an incredible transformation. Lux is now a far more relaxed and happy horse, and I’ve become a more confident and calm partner as a result.

"Aurora has a unique gift for creating a safe space for both horse and owner. Through her intuition and experience, she listens deeply and teaches valuable skills like self-regulation, advocacy, and being present.
She empowers horses and their owners to make meaningful changes, allowing the horse to thrive in a relaxed and content state. Aurora is truly AMAZING!"

You are not alone.
Most conflicts with a fresh off the track thoroughbred occur when there are gaps in the foundation for restarting the horse.
