If you spend enough time in a training facility run by Maya Markowski you will surely hear this refrain on a regular basis. The idea of teamwork can be a bit cliché, but for Maya, it’s something that she lives daily. 

12 years ago, before Maya was my coach, I was warming up at a show by myself. Maya happened to be warming up at the same time. She noticed that I was nervous and in need of some guidance. Without prompting she came over, said “Hello” and offered me some pointers all while warming up herself. After that encounter I became a client.

At the core of everything that Maya does is a deep care and compassion for both horses and clients. She is a passionate leader with an innate ability to bring people together in a supportive and inclusive way.
