Joell Dunlap, Square Peg
founder has taught hundreds of students to ride. An equestrienne
since childhood, she has participated in many different disciplines
including racing, polo, hunting, jumping, three-day eventing
and reining. Joell has worked professionally in many facets
of the equestrian industry including racing, marketing, special
events, and breaking and training of young horses, in addition
to teaching.
However, Joell has always been passionate
about changing the way people teach and is an advocate for
alternative education. Joell has been published nationally
in equestrian publications regarding a gentler and more creative
approach to teaching students and training horses.
Since she started working with developmentally
challenged children, Joell has been developing a unique teaching
method which resonates. Her philosophy of “Inspire,
Guide, Challenge” and her sensitive style of instruction
have helped hundreds of students to achieve important goals.
