I started riding as a child and then started again, as a working student, in my twenties. My main experience is in equitation and hunter/jumpers. I have a good background in basic dressage/flatwork and I have had excellent instructors along the way. In NJ, I showed in the equitation divisions and in Virginia, the Hunter Divisions. Due to work, I stopped riding a few years ago (my horse is retired). When I left off, we were competing at 3’3. I am very comfortable/experienced working with green and/or skittish horses.
