Meet Our Founder, Victoria Vail
Victoria brings a passion for emotional wellness, leadership development, and equine-assisted learning. Through her work with horses, she has helped individuals discover clarity, confidence, and connection. Her background includes leadership and business development, financial coaching, and equine-assisted learning. Victoria created Thrive With Horses to provide meaningful experiences through the wisdom of the herd and the healing connection between horses and people.
“Horses showed me something different, responding to what’s real, not what’s said—and in that honesty, finding clarity, regulation, and trust without forcing change. Thrive Equine exists because I believe healing happens best when we slow down, listen to The Herd, and allow ourselves to be, and be still.”
