About Meghan Whitman

Meghan Whitman, owner and trainer at A Driving Force Sport Horse Development LLC, is a horse trainer and instructor with a passion for empowering horses and their humans to achieve their goals while honoring their individuality. Her approach prioritizes understanding behavior as communication, emotional adaptability, functional movement, and the development of technical skills that allow each horse and rider to participate confidently in the arena of their choice. 

Meghan’s work supports horses in developing strength, clarity, and confidence in ways that respect their unique needs, while equipping humans with applicable, transferable skills. At the core of her program is education—of both horse and human—through an approach that fosters authenticity, curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a genuine love of the horse, with the goal of creating more harmonious, resilient partnerships.

Her equine experiences began in 2008. Immediately, she was hooked for life and always knew she'd be a trainer. She has never lost the horse-crazy kid inside and has developed that love into being a skilled and passionate trainer and instructor who cherishes deepening the horse-human connection and building a better understanding of communication with our beloved horses. Meghan believes that true partnership comes from listening to the horse and guiding them towards clarity, curiosity, and play with trust, patience, and respect. She is equally committed to ensuring her students gain independence, confidence, and the tools to become capable partners for their own horses.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Equine Management and has past experiences working as an equine veterinary assistant and as a working student for Tik Maynard and Sinead Halpin-Maynard, giving her a well-rounded perspective on horse care and training across multiple disciplines and levels. She continues her education with frequent lessons herself and takes opportunities to continue learning by traveling to support other professionals in their endeavors as well. Being a lifelong learner is an important mindset she fosters in herself and her students. She is passionate about equine welfare, blending training methodologies for clarity, and focusing on a well-rounded training program honoring the horse as a sentient being.

Meghan offers full-time training, part-time training, lessons, workshops, consulting support for new and seasoned horse owners and riders, and virtual educational resources and services.
