Type of Ride Work
I have ridden all kinds of horses! From spunky ponies to giant fancy warmbloods! I personally love restarting thoroughbreds and working with many draft crosses. My most recent project was a 3 year old ex amish belgian morgan X. While I was working on ground work, rehabbing his injury, and flat work we were able to do his first show and even grab some ribbons! I also currently own an OTTB mare that I am restarting to hopefully be my eventer!
Competition Details
I have competed myself but have never worked as a groom at shows. I want to get more well versed in rated shows and hopefully compete more myself!
