I have a bachelor's degree from Missouri State's College of Business. I worked as an accountant for many years and am proficient with Quickbooks Online and desktop. I can help with farm bookkeeping, payroll and tax prep. I can drive a manual, many years of experience hauling bumper pulls and goose-necks. I am dependable, knowledgeable, college educated, mature, caring and compassionate. I am friendly, cheerful, optimistic and hard working. I take ownership in my role and take pride in my work.

I currently offer vacation farm sitting and emergency chore services for equestrian estates. I am a freelance show groom. I have over 37 consistent years of equestrian experience.

I grew up riding H/J and was an active member of United States Pony Club as a junior. I have owned my own horses and worked at different stables for the past 37 years. I owned my own farm. I am confident in my abilities. I can see things that need done and do them. Additionally, I have served as a board member on both my local h/j schooling show association and dressage association. Ive acted as liaison for the Jockey Club TIP program in my area. I was accepted as a trainer in 2024 for the Retired Racehorse Project. I can work the arena, set a course or grid, hook up various tractor implements, build cross country fences, repair fencing, fix things. I frequently haul horses for several trainers in my area. I worked for an equine shipper as a driver briefly. I like and respect each horse I meet. Every barn I visit, I have buddies. It's a charmed life to have a horse call you his friend.

I am comfortable handling and working with young stock, stallions and hot/fit horses. Experienced show groom, I spent 3 weeks in Scottsdale grooming at the Arabian show February this year. Many years experience with TB broodmares and foals, covering foal watch, handling babies. I have worked as accountant and HR for stables. Posted job ads and pre screened applicants, did onboarding, scheduling, training new staff, et cetera.

I have spent the majority of my life sitting on OTTBs. Hunters, jumpers, some unrecognized eventing, lower level dressage, fox hunting and trail riding. I consider myself a strong intermediate rider. I feel I can improve a horse, but I am not brave as I was at one point. My super power is the ability to tell the difference between 6 bay TB geldings in a field.

I am currently a freelance show groom. I groomed at Arabian Finals in Tulsa 2025 and the Scottsdale Arabian show this year. As an adult, I have mostly shown regionally in hunters and jumpers. I've ridden at many schooling dressage and h/j shows and unrecognized events. I enjoy fox hunting. I can pack and set up at a show. I am very organized and efficient.
