Ripley Chazire

Founder, Coach, Trainer and Writer

Broken isn't a bad thing. 

​

Born into the world with one of the most painful diseases known to man, Ripley has spent most of her life fighting for her life. Her journey to hope and balance was not pleasant or pretty, growing up in a highly abusive home, in a body that regularly abused her, and in an environment where she wasn't protected from the atoricities this world has to offer young women, left her in a place where "you've seen it all," is one of the truest statements you could make about her life. 

​

However, that never stopped her. Horses saved her life in more ways than one. From the safe escape that the barn created, to her own equine partner, who learned to stop moving when she fainted due to health issues, to the Gestalt coaching she does now, and her journey to and through adaptive horseback riding and training, horses have been the common denominator in her story. 

​

A survivor of domestic, sexual, and medical abuse. A survivor of complex post-traumatic

stress disorder. A survivor of multiple vascular compressions, including MALS, NCS, TOS, and Eagle's. A survivor of the bad side of the equine industry. A survivor of the American

healthcare and school system. A survivor of self-harm and suicide. A survivor, Ripley sees the survivor in everyone she meets. 

The balance horses brought her and the pebbles of hope she found along the way that led her to the light she's in now, a business owner and author, the light she now spreads by raising awareness and helping horse and humans find their voice and advocate for themselves in a world that tries to hard to silence so many. It's not just anxiety, it's not in your head, you're not fat or overreacting or overthinking, you're reliving your trauma in the cells of your body because their voice has been silenced. Ripley listens to them and wants to help you do the same when you're ready to find that next pebble of hope and take the next step. ​
