ABOUT ME

My love for horses all started when I first saw the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. From there on out, I was hooked. As a single parent, my mom did her best to get me into riding lessons and keep me in them for as long as she could afford. I was so excited about riding lessons that each Saturday morning I would get nauseous from the excitement. Unfortunately the nausea kept me away from lessons many times and my mom eventually had to stop taking me to lessons.

When I was old enough to work at a barn, I took on a job cleaning stalls and helping lesson students get ready at my old lesson barn. From there on I also became a trail guide, summer camp instructor, and more. I worked at that barn throughout my time in high school and in college when I could come home.

I went to college at William Woods University and graduated in the Spring of 2020. My time at WWU was unforgettable and I learned a massive amount of priceless information that I still use and grow on today. Since then, I have moved on to start up my own business helping other people manage their horses.
