⭑Presenter Bio Kip Mistral⭑

I am a lifelong horsewoman who found an avocation in exploring classical equestrian traditions through research, writing and publishing. I hold an MA in English, taught composition and technical writing at the college level, and worked as a technical writer in the software industry for almost 15 years. My “avocational” projects have included over 100 published articles, editorship of an equestrian magazine, co-authoring a bestselling training manual, publishing books and blogging on my website.

With my work, I hope to cultivate legacy and posterity for classical horsemanship, inspiring interest on the part of modern riders in this classically-informed approach which is the most nourishing foundation for horses and riders of any discipline.

My “Spanish gentleman,” Valentín, has been my equine inspiration in my rider’s journey for the last 23 years.

I am changed. My horses have truly been my teachers in all the important ways…
