Molly began training horses as a child in Scottsdale, Arizona. At a tender age she began working with "Pappy" Norris, a gentlemen who could only be described as an "old time horse trader." She was first introduced to the Peruvian Paso thru Pappy in the early 60's. He bred a wonderful Tennessee Walking Horse to one of the first imported Peruvian stallions, El Tivo, and got a gentle colt from that breeding, and the next year a beautiful filly. Molly began training this pair when she was only 12 years old, and from that point on, she was hooked on Peruvians.

After moving to Santa Fe, Molly began training for Ellen Espinosa in Espanola, New Mexico. Finally, after working with this wonderful breed off and on for over twenty years, she was able to purchase her first Peruvian, Dulce Gitano, who is still going strong at 28. Since that time, she has had the opportunity to work and train many different breeds, but her heart will always be with the Peruvian.

Her training method varies with each horse. Unlike the current craze of "cookie cutter" training, her philosophy is to look and listen to the individual needs and wants of the specific horse. Every horse is as unique and different as their owner. She believes the round pen is one of the most useful tools in horse communication. Also, thanks to the mentoring of her sister Trisha, she believes the mounting block is not just for teaching a horse to stand and mount, it's also a wonderful training tool. She is an advanced student of Diana Thompson's "Hands on Horse Care" and utilizes Bach Flower remedies and Touch with her own horses.

Molly only trains one or two horses at a time. Slow steady ground work is key. Her motto is, "You can't make a horse do something. Only if it becomes their idea, that is true training."
