I haven't taken any horse related classes unfortunately, but I have absolute loads of experience riding and working with/around horses.

As I mentioned, I am not currently employed at an equine related job, but I do have my own horse and am always at the barn.

My horse experience ranges from mucking out stalls at my old lesson barn to caring for my own horse everyday! I started out riding western and switched to English when I bought my first horse and I've been jumping and flatting english ever since. I worked at a horse therapy ranch for about 3 years and I spent that time mucking stalls, turning out horses, grooming and tacking up and walking lesson students around the arena. I also would say I have a fair amount of experience with horse vet care, and can treat anything minor myself, I always have supplies on hand. I lived on and next to a bunch of horse ranches and facilities my whole life, so I am no stranger to anything horsey!

I've worked a lot with mainly problem and "hot" horses, and I bought my own horse as a basically un-broke 3 year old. I know how to handle strong horses and I am very calm is those stressful situations! I love starting horses. I have also been around foals a lot, I used to live next to a stud farm and I helped out a lot.

Flatwork and jumping are my jam, but my horse is still very green so I am looking to really get more into it! I also love a good trail ride.

I haven't had the chance to compete, only because I haven't been able to afford it. I've spent lots of time at shows though! I always tagged along to shows with the lesson barn and helped get all the horses ready.
