I love show jumping first and foremost. It requires a multitude of skill sets to produce a successful confident show jumper. I do enjoy fox hunting and working with polo ponies.

Had the rare opportunity to ride with the best in our sport. Back in the day when Grand Prix riders didn’t mind a few tag a long students meeting them at shows where they would help you train, course walk and even show your horse without being a full time client. Usually not how it goes these days but fortunately I took advantage of the exposure I had to them and they were gracious to let me watch them train.
