Allison Trimble - Willfully Guided Horsemanship

Allison Trimble was born and raised a cowgirl from Anchor Point, Alaska.  She attended Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and received a BS in Animal Science.  She actively participated in many enterprise projects and was introduced to Cowhorse competition through the Cal Poly Quarter Horse Project.  After her graduation in 1999, Allison started Coastal Equine and has been training and competing in Cowhorse, Reining and Cutting events.

Her accomplishments include being a NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Finalist, multiple time Futurity and Derby Champion, multiple time World Show Qualifier and Finalist, and NRCHA, NRHA and AQHA money and point earner in excess of $90,000 LTE.

Coastal Equine takes pride in raising and training quality performance horses.  With a background as a Non Professional who trained her own horses, Allison believes in the ability of the Non Pro to have a primary role in the training of their own horse.  Allison’s clients range from beginners to advanced competitors.  Willfully Guided is an educational program, based on Allison’s training process, offers insights into the art of building a willing and sustainable partnership with your performance horse.

 Willfully Guided is the philosophy of horse/human relationship that Allison Trimble has developed over years of training horses and people.  At its core, Willfully Guided is learning to see the world through the eyes of your horse, and utilize that knowledge in a structured and well thought out training regimen.  Allison has competed for years in the top level cowhorse, reining, and cutting competition both as a Non Pro and a Professional.  She has the unique experience of being a Non Pro, an owner and a trainer and has developed a program that has been successful for her clients on many levels.

 Whether training a performance horse, or simply improving your abilities and relationship with your horse, your journey begins with a philosophy and understanding of the absolute truths about horses  and the horse/human relationship.  If you have a grasp of the “Why” of what you are doing, you are much more capable of having the desired result and obtaining forward motion in your training.  In each moment you spend with your horse, every motion relates back to this belief system.  Every drill and technique is designed with these truths in mind; this is true for all levels and disciplines of horsemanship.  Allison believes in the ability of an individual to train their own horse, but it is not a venture for everyone, and certainly not for the close minded or weak hearted.  Through Willfully Guided you can move towards the goal of having a, happy, healthy, reliable, well trained horse that is on a path to reaching his full potential.

 “I have always held a very strong belief that talented horses can be trained and allowed to perform at the highest level without compromising the well being of the animal, physically or mentally.  In this blog we will delve into the process of building performance horses in a sustainable way.  As riders and trainers we have a unique opportunity to have an impact on a specific animal.  This is both an honor and a responsibility I look forward to helping you and your horse in your journey”
