Nicole Carswell,
the Author
and Trainer

Born with an intense love of horses,
Nicole Huber Carswell grew up on a
farm located in May¹s Lick, Kentucky.
While she began riding at the age of 3,
her first exposure to the Tennessee
Walking horse came at the age of 12
with a gift from her parents. These
experiences laid the foundation for a
professional career.

In 1990, Nicole graduated from
Morehead State University with a B.S.
in Animal Science. There she learned a
broader view of horse training, exhibition,
and teaching on breeds such as
American Saddlebreds, Quarter horses,
and Thoroughbred hunters over fences.
It was during the training/teaching
experiences involving these breeds that
she realized she wanted to teach and
train. Recognizing the need for
instruction in the Walking Horse industry,
she chose to educate riders on how to
enhance their horse¹s performance with
superior equitation.

Nicole and her husband, Gene ³Smokey²
Carswell and their son, Luke now own
and operate the stables at 7 th Heaven
Farm in Morehead, Kentucky. She has
coached World Champion equitation
riders, presented a rider for the TWH
breed at Equitana USA, trained world
champion horses, and maintains an
intensive horse training and lesson
program. Developing talented horse
and rider combinations is her goal,
and served as the inspiration for this
book.
