Trish Pierce
Equine Assistant
Trish grew up in Binghamton, NY with the standard-issue little girl’s passion for horses but had to wait until her mid-30’s to fully explore it. Within five years of her first riding lesson, she had adopted her first horse and progressed to partnership in a small boarding/breeding/training farm where she built a house and lived amid the pastures. Soon after, she found herself working as a part-time assistant to her equine veterinarian and starting her young Morgan gelding under saddle.
Caring for resident and client horses, along with raising foals within a familial herd, fostered in Trish a dedication to equine wellness based on developing individual care plans within species-appropriate enviornments. Trish is committed to cooperative handling and de-adrenalized training that fosters parasympathetic-state wellness in both the horse and human. Her interest in mid-body wellness for both parties in the horse-human dynamic have led her to certification in Equine Facilitated Learning (Athena Foundation, UK) and the Masterson Method of Integrated Equine Bodywork.
Trish lives with her husband, Marty, in Horseheads, NY on a private farm with Sherman the Morgan, the minis Sampson and Spartacus, and Oscar the donkey. A daily meditation practice helps her keep it all together.
