Marian Vermeulen was born into a family with two horses and horses have been a central part of her life ever since. She grew up running bareback through the surrounding woods and forests, and started training horses while attending university to study history and philosophy. After working at riding stables and dude ranches for a few years, she began focusing on training. Today, Marian owns three horses, volunteer trains for the local rescue, and trains for several clients in the area as well as doing freelance history writing on the side. She specializes in starting horses under saddle, working with “problem” behaviors and troubled horses, and helping owners improve their relationship with their own horses.
