What We Do

Services at Sacred Connections

At Sacred Connections, I provide solutions for you and your horse, covering everything from colt starting, tune-ups, trail and basic ranch training to tackling behavioral issues like bucking and pulling back or psychological issues like PTSD and neurosis through customized training plans. My focus on a holistic approach supports the well-being, safety, and empowerment of your horse.

For clients, the goal is to make you the leader your horse wants you to be! This includes enhanced horse handling skills, improved nervous system regulation, and enhanced awareness. My practical yet heart-centered approach fosters trust and confidence, allowing you to enjoy a fulfilling and safe partnership with your horse.

  • "Sacred Connections has taken the time to really get to know Tucker & analyze what he needs to be his best horse-self. I love that they use a holistic 1-on-1 approach to provide what each horse really needs individually rather than forcing them to conform to the same ol’ type of training over & over. The end result is a confident relaxed horse who is happy & trustworthy 🥰"

  • "We brought a horse to Alena who was scared of his own shadow and appears to have been abused and traumatized in his previous life. In the last 45 days she has done an exceptional job building his confidence from the ground up. Highly recommend her for your horses training and mental well-being!"

  • "Alena is exceptional with horses and people, she loves life and enables others to enjoy each other and ride well."

  • "Bring them your spoiled horses they'll work with them in a gentle caring way. When your horse is returned to you all the things that made it spoiled will be gone. They offer horse and rider lessons, therapeutic sessions are also offered. If I could still ride and lived closer I would enjoy spending some time there."

  • "Couldn’t be happier . I had brought my problem horse in for a month tune up , and after getting her home realizing the problem wasn’t my mare or myself it was us a team we just did not work well together . Well I got to bring her back to the ranch and bring my new boy Wyatt home on a trade . I seriously couldn’t be happier , she knew Wyatt and I would make a great team and we truly are 💕 Thank you so very much."

  • "I cannot say enough!! Alena has truly been a blessing for me and my gelding Benji! She has been helping us make a strong foundation for our lifelong partnership to grow. I am so happy to be working with Sacred Connections!"
