Hi, I'm Maggie

Equestrian entrepreneur, riding instructor & coach

I've spent nearly two decades building a life around horses — from the arena to the boardroom. My background in biology sparked a love of learning that I've carried into everything I do: training riders, developing young leaders, and empowering moms to reclaim their freedom.

I'm currently focused on three projects I care deeply about. Explore them below.

My Projects

Strides Riding Academy

Horseback riding lessons for kids and adults in Petaluma and Santa Rosa. Beginners and experienced riders welcome.

Strides Leadership

A student program that develops real-world confidence, responsibility, and leadership through horses.

The Free Mom Project

For moms who are done playing small, a community to rediscover themselves and build something real.

Ride

Confidence in the saddle — lessons and training for riders at every level.

Lead

Youth programs that turn students into capable, grounded leaders.

Live free

A community for moms ready to reclaim their lives on their own terms.
