Duties of Current Occupation
Teaching, training, treating and caring for horses. Vetting and selecting horses for clients. Tack fitting, medical care and general overseeing duties.
Equine Work Experience
I am currently a barn shift manager, instructor, and trainer at Woodland Horse Center in Silver Spring, Maryland. I've been with Woodland for 12 years and have 8 years of instructing experience from beginner to advanced levels. I have several clients whose horses I do training rides on as well as retrain horses for sale. I can give injections, treat wounds, wrap, braid, groom, and exercise ride as well as all barn chores. I cherished my time and opportunities at Woodland but I am ready to expand my client outreach as well as the mentors I learn from as I continue to grow in my riding and instructing.
Type of Ride Work
My passion and focus is in dressage, but I did spend a fair amount of time in the jumpers and eventing. I also rode and competed with SCAD's national champion IHSA team while in college.
My roots are in the balanced seat, but I will teach (a very technical) forward seat if needed. Handled babies, yearlings, stallions, re-started racehorses, started horses under saddle,
