I was apart of a fire and rescue equine training group. This was a large group of equestrians who would get together and work on different riding/ training techniques for all types of horses.

I teach snowboarding to all ages and groups full time currently. My season ends in April and I will be moving to the carbondale area, would love to continue and outdoor working job and have history with training hard to handle horses.

The flag team I road for was a large group of equestrian riders who would work together to choreograph different patterns that would go along with the national anthem or a set playlist for openings in rodeos, fairs, and other events. We would often organize large group trail rides as well. I was also apart of a fire and rescue team in which a large group of riders would get together and work on different training and riding techniques for different horses and behavioral issues. My specialty would be in problem horses. I personally rescued two horses from abusive and neglectful backgrounds. A large Tennessee walker whose former owner practiced soaring and ear twitching, as well as a filly that was sent to be up in a large scale auction. Both of these horses were far from trained and required a large amount of knowledge, patience and commitment to get to a safe handling and riding point. All of which I had done on my own with tips and tricks from those in my community.

I started riding and working with horses at a young age. I worked at different stables mucking out stalls, grooming, feeding and handling wormings and medications. I road on a flag team that performed in large rodeos and fairs, trail road, played with barrels and jumping. Was an all around rider but preferred the western style. I personally have trained 3 problem horses independently. A Tennessee walker, a filly and a quarter horse. Care about the well being of all horses and their enclosure.

My experience would definitely be in riding and training problem horses and getting them to a safe riding / handling point. I had successfully started a filly, she was in my care for about 6 months at the age of one, was completely halter broke, ground trained, and following verbal and hand signs. My horse was a rescue from an abusive owner, had extreme issues with hoof maintenance, putting on and off halters/bridals/ ear nets, and loading trailers. Was completely broke by the end of our time.

I use to compete in racing barrels for rodeos as well as ride for a flag team. Being apart of the flag team we would perform for opening acts in rodeos, fairs, and school performances, practicing choreographed patterns while holding large state flags with a large group of riders. I have also rode in a handful of holiday parades as well.
