I do not have any college qualifications related to equine, but I have gone to many camps, such as a polo camp in UVA where they taught us a lot of taking care of horses along with riding them.

Going to school and sports after school.

I did horse jumping when I was younger from ages 5 to 8. Then I made the transition to polo where I have been playing for 8 years. I have played at Gardnertown Polo Club and Yale Polo club. I also have experience with traveling to play polo and I have ridden many different horses and tacked/taken care of them too. This past summer I stayed in Saratoga, New York where I was working in the barn, riding horses, and playing polo every single day. I love to be around horses and help take care of them. I have grown to become very comfortable around them. My family and I even owned two horses and we kept them at our house in a pasture and run-in shed. I would feed them every day, muck the paddock, groom them, feed hay, and fill their water buckets.

I have been around and riding horses for pretty much all of my life. My family and I have owned multiple horses in the past. I helped take care of them at our home and helped trailer them to different barns. I also volunteered at a polo camp and helped teach younger players. This past summer I worked at Bloomfield Farm in Saratoga, New York where I helped with numerous tasks such as mucking stalls, filling water buckets, cleaning tack, wrapping/tacking horses, taking out sets, etc.

I have ridden numerous types of horses including young horses, green horses, and problem horses. I have ridden both jumping and polo horses. I do not have experience in starting a horse.

I have competed in many polo games, both outdoor and indoor, most of which were for interscholastic polo. I have also worked as a polo groom for many pros before.
