I have a strong background in the hunter/jumper discipline, and greatly enjoy trail riding and guiding trail rides. I am starting dressage lessons locally and competed w/my horse in a small local clinic/show. I have also experienced several other disciplines and breeds and have a strong desire to learn and broaden my knowledge in the horseworld. Barn management is a key strong point in my experience as I have a professional background in that area as well as several years of hands on experience.
