I started riding at age 14, and building my skills over the years. Taking horses and riders from being "green" to watching them mature and acquire skills and confidence, has always been a great reward. Show ring or pleasure riding requires the same dedication and adherence to the basic principals of classical horsemanship that I believe to be the foundation of this sport/art form.
My love of horsemanship and teaching, within my students and clinics, as well as traveling to judge, has produced results, which make this sport exciting and fulfilling.
I am blessed to have my family’s constant enduring support in my endeavors.
