Dr. Darby Bonomi brings psychological guidance, strategies, and perspective for top performance and full enjoyment of your competitive experience.

Darby has been a part of the equestrian world for much of her life. As such, the depth and breadth of her knowledge about horses, riders, barns, trainers, etc., help families make informed decisions about every aspect of their own equestrian life. It is not only Darby’s experience, passion for the sport, and keen eye, which served to make her invaluable to our family, but her sincere love and understanding of our young rider, and above all, her integrity. In short, we cannot imagine making any major decision about our family’s passion for horses and riding without consulting Darby.

Before working with Darby, we knew that our daughter had the ability to be a strong rider but were unsure how best to navigate the different phases of this sport. Darby has first-hand knowledge of equestrian training, competition and horse lease/owning process. She provides us with frameworks filled with positive perspectives that make us think differently about our training & competitions. Her approach has helped us internalize the true joys of riding while achieving our riding goals. We are grateful for the unique & compassionate coaching partnership that we have with Darby.
