Equine Work Experience

I worked alongside Grand Prix dressage professional, Laura Abner at Zia Equestrian and learned many riding and training techniques using the dressage training scale. I helped with the daily training of young and advanced horses. I also gained an enhanced knowledge of handling foals and yearlings. My other responsibilities consisted of the daily care of 50 dressage horses including ordering grain/shavings/hay, medical care, grooming, barn maintenance, scheduling vet/farrier appointments, and managing staff. I also worked for dressage professional, Pam Goodrich owner of Foster Meadow in New Hampshire for five years. Working with Pam taught me the foundations of dressage training. Pam taught me many valuable skills and how to be a “thinking rider” to get the horse supple and coming over the back. This barn relocates yearly to Wellington, FL where I continued my work, training, and showing career for the winter season.
