About
Mirka Crew comes originally from the Czech Republic and is now a dual citizen of the Czech Republic and the USA. She has spent 20 years training horses for the public, competing in western disciplines (Stock-Horse/Versatility and Western Dressage), Extreme Mustang Makeovers, and the discipline of liberty, teaching clinics, private lessons and judging competitions. She seeks lightness in responsiveness, connection and harmony with each horse. Over the years, through influence of many great human and equine mentors, Mirka has discovered that collection can be achieved even at liberty and bridle-less. She calls it Posture Focused Training.
Mirka has also managed and hosted several equestrian competitions over the years, WOHA, SESHA/VRH-AQHA, AOCA, Alabama Wild Mustang TIP Challenges and Jackpot Obstacle Races and has become an ILHA judge.
