I rode regularly without a break of any sort for 8 years. I worked at the yard, assisting with tack cleaning, grooming, and general yard duties. I had a particular interest in training horses into show jumpers and eventing horses. I was asked to work with a young horse who it appeared had experienced abuse before coming to us. He was very flighty and nervy. I started looking into Natural Horsemanship and Parelli techniques and began practicing these techniques with him. I worked a lot with Riding for the Disabled in South Africa and would love to get involved in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy at some point later in life.
