More About Maren Vogel

A lifelong horsewoman, Vogel began lessons at the early age of three years old and grew up on a working family horse farm in the northeast.  She was an avid participant in the United States Pony Club as well as the Interscholastic Equestrian Association, giving her a diverse background from a young age.

She is passionate about supporting riders and horses in the pursuit of continual self-development, in line with their personal goals.  She emphasizes a “quality over quantity”, or “trust the process” type of mindset where every person and horse’s unique pace of growth is accepted. Maintaining mutual respect, empathy and a focus on fun within her program is key for her, as good learning does not occur unless everyone feels safe and comfortable. 

Vogel offers lesson options suitable for a variety of rider levels and disciplines, as well as professional schooling of client horses, groundwork and behavioral modification. Other services include off site hauling and coaching for shows/events, body clipping, mane pulling and other professional grooming items.
