independent specialist

painter and horse trainer

"I am a mother, a painter, and a passionate lover of horses, whose life journey is inseparably intertwined with these noble animals. Since early childhood, I have spent years at horse camps, assisted in preparing for races on Akhal-Teke horses in endurance riding, and cherished adventures in the Šumava region, where I herded cattle on semi-wild Hucul ponies and lived among horses in the wild nature. For a few years, I devoted myself to western riding, obtained my riding license from the WRC, and participated in a few races, where I realized that it wasn't my path.

Horses have always been at the center of my interest.

An invitation to the Mirákl Center for Hippotherapy changed my professional path and opened new possibilities in training horses for rehabilitation and in artistic therapies. This place allowed me further professional growth in horse preparation and training children with disabilities. At Mirákl, I also developed my artistic inclinations by participating in the preparation of art therapy programs for intensive hippotherapy stays.

Collaboration with renowned trainers such as Honza Zamec, Arne Koets, Goncalo Soares, Jeff Sanders, and Martin Veverka provided me with valuable experiences, and my horses became symbols of my artistry and sensitivity to these animals. Now, in the heart of the Krkonoše Mountains, I collaborate with Bára Nosková from Kentaurus on children's hippotherapeutic-logopedic camps.

I am a woman of many talents, whose life is an example of how passion for horses can influence and enrich both personal and professional life. As a mother, coach, therapist, and artist, I am constantly seeking new ways to broaden my horizons and bring positive changes into the lives of others."
