Trainer Biography
Marissa, 24, is a horse trainer from Preble County, Ohio, specializing in colt starting and foundation-based horsemanship. Over the past several years, she has built a successful training program focused on starting, restarting, and developing horses through clear communication, consistency, and trust. Marissa's training philosophy emphasizes creating confident, willing partners by building a strong foundation before advancing to more complex work. She believes horses learn best through fair leadership, understanding, and the opportunity to think through challenges rather than simply react to pressure. Inspired by respected horsemen including Craig Cameron, Stacy Westfall, Jesse Peters, Buck Brannaman, and Ray Hunt, Marissa is passionate about showcasing the intelligence and potential of America's wild horses through thoughtful, patient horsemanship.
