Meet Allie Simes

Allie has been riding since her early teenage years, beginning her equine journey as a volunteer at a therapeutic riding program. It was there that her passion for the powerful connection between horses and people truly took root. She holds a degree in Equine Business Management and spent over a decade training dressage horses, practicing natural horsemanship, and managing barns in Wellington, Florida, and Snowmass, Colorado.

After relocating to Knoxville to be closer to family, Allie spent several years working as an equine veterinary technician, further deepening her understanding of horses from both a training and medical perspective. As her family continues to grow — she is currently expecting her first child — Allie is eager to reconnect with training and teaching and to continue fostering meaningful, thoughtful relationships between horses and the people who work with them.
