I specialize in and have a variety of experience, including young horses, horses with behavioral problems, rehabbing, retraining, restarting horses off the track, fine tuning/tuning up, adding additional suppleness, or simply putting more miles and riding on a horse. I love seeing a horses potential and striving to bring out the best in each one and accommodating to each of their needs as individu
als. Focusing on groundwork and flatwork is critical and most important to me to setting a horse up for success for their foundation. My own personal equestrian background is varied. I grew up riding Western and continued to learn and grow with a very green horse at a very young age. Experience with barrels and training a barrel pattern. I’ve ridden Western Pleasure, Reining, Ranch Sorting and Cutting. I’ve shown in Western Horsemanship, Showmanship, and Ranch riding. At an older age I’ve even branched out to and have basic experience in English. I’ve shown English Equitation. In the last few years I have been learning and perusing Cross-Country jumping, Show jumping and Dressage. I always continue to ride and work on horse training, along with improving my own riding with additional trainers and improving my skills. I’m a firm believer that if a horse may not be learning or picking up something quick, to possibly try a different approach. Not one horse is the same, they each have their own personalities and it is up to you as the trainer to make something more easily understood.
