Equine Work Experience
Raised in the barn, had my own pony at the age of 3. Mom taught lessons and trained horses. I literally grew up in a barn. I have seen a lot over the years. I have worked for many top professionals, Olympic riders, Hall of Fame race horse trainers, I have cared for Olympic horses, top race horses...every horse I care for gets the same care. I absolutely love the horses and I take their care seriously. Knowing how to properly bandage horses, bed a stall so you never see the matts, which in turn keeps your horse comfortable and clean. Basic things that are many times overlooked. I believe that the details are what separates first place and second place or just the horse feeling good or great. I do things the best way I can. The goal is to have the horses be the best they can be and be happy! A happy horse will try their best as will a happy employee! I seek a peaceful no drama work environment.
Specialities

Type of Ride Work
At this point in my life I mostly like to hack out. I grew up riding ponies, equitation, hunters and jumpers. I burnt out on show horses at 16 years old. I learned how to break TB's & I galloped race horses for many years. I worked for some of the best, JJ Toner, Tom Skiffington, rode steeplechasers and took care of top horses for Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard. In short as I made my way through life, I learned a lot about the horse and how and why it is important to do things properly.
Competition Details
Years of showing hunters and jumpers as a kid and teenager, moved on to race horses, been back and forth. Lots of professional grooming. Barn manager and I have FEI experience. I can handle all the details and do not need anyone to tell me what to do. I have eyes, I know how to prioritize and I will always do it properly. You will have complete peace of mind.
