About Us
From starting horses under saddle, to building the long-term partnership between horse and human, we are dedicated to creating good equine citizens and confident equestrians. Our training program does this by following three basic rules;
Logical
Horse or human, our training program is designed to make sense. This encourages a calm learning atmosphere and deeper thinking, and builds a solid foundation for wherever the trail may take you.
Safe
Whether using properly maintained equipment or fostering a greater sense of spatial awareness, safety is paramount in all of our practices and ensures the long-term success of all of our students, no matter two- or four-legged.
Respectful
Using logical and safe methods, we create respectful horses, and help our humans understand how to return that respect for a stronger partnership for years to come.
Logical, safe, and respectful - it’s the philosophy behind everything we do here at Quadracci Natural Horsemanship.
Meet the Trainer
Nia Quadracci has been training horses for nearly a decade. With an early foundation in Sierra Nevada horsemanship, she brings a multi-discipline approach to prepare her horses for whatever their future may hold.
​
Nia initially worked with gymkhana and therapeutic riding horses, before leaving to pursue a bachelor's degree in Equine Science from Colorado State University. During this time, she shifted her focus to working with rescue and rehabilitation during a training internship with the Colorado Horse Rescue, and found her love of the trail and the mountain horse. Now, when not in the round pen with her students, she tackles the trails with her plucky Arabian mare.
