Anna

I have no certificates or college qualifications.

In 2020, I moved to Rixeyville, VA. After getting acquainted with the area, I starting a small business of one (me)-- Caring for horses as well as other animals for a local barns, several personal clients, and one sanctuary.

From adolescence to current.

I have personal and professional experience in the equine industry. Skills: feeding, mucking, beginner lessons, barn management, emergency care, supply stocking, creating feeding plans, desensitizing, and more. Having experience caring for 30+ horses at a time as well as fully booked client summer vacation contracts, I am confident your barn can and will run smoothly with me in it.

I have the skills to iron out common efficiency issues, transitions in your equine’s diet, maintenance of your grounds, and I’m personable with humans… what more could you ask for? I’m timely, punctual, and practical.

I have high standards and make efficient team plans. Highly organized, personable but thorough, timely and precise, and undoubtably trustworthy are all attributes I consider myself to carry. I have a wealth of experience with equine feeding, general welfare maintenance, weight management, equine first aid, giving medication, etc. In adolescence I was taught how to ride within the western realm—less experience with english riding but know general discipline. +grounds maintenance.

I am a confident rider, but I have never started a horse from start to finish. I do not have a fear of riding bucks and a little rearing, although it has been 4-5 years since I've spent serious time in the saddle.

I have little to no experience in hunter jumper, but I adapt well and have a general knowing. I grew up working in western dressage and ranch riding— don’t get any ideas that I’m a rodeo Queen… I’m gentle, no kick, whip, or bad habits.

No competing under my belt. Only pleasure.
