Our Story​
All Around Equine was founded in 2015 by Emma (Koeberl) Ellig as a step of faith, believing God had a purpose for her life—even though she didn't yet know exactly what it would look like.
Through seasons of joy, hardship, growth, and lifelong learning, God gently shaped that purpose. Looking back, Emma knows she didn't arrive here by accident, but by God's faithful plan.
Raised in a horse family, Emma has been riding since the age of two. She grew up learning from her father while also training with multiple-time World Champion reining professionals and continuing her education alongside trainers, veterinarians, farriers, saddle fitters, bodyworkers, and other equine professionals.
While reining laid the foundation for her program, Emma has studied a wide variety of disciplines including colt starting, ranch work, cattle, trail, dressage, western pleasure, showmanship, speed events, and horse behavior. She believes every horse, every mentor, and every experience has something valuable to teach—and that learning never stops.
Today, All Around Equine is a faith-based, family-operated business dedicated to helping horses and the people who love them grow together through education, understanding, and practical horsemanship.
