Specialities
English riding, mainly hunt seat instruction for youth beginner riders. I pride myself in the excellent care I provide for the horses under my supervision, and the speed and effectiveness of my routines. I am detail-oriented, leave detailed shift notes for boss and coworkers to easily reference. I am always available to pick up extra shifts, don't mind long hours, early mornings, or late nights. I often work with horses for boarders when they are unable to get out to the barn for whatever reason
Type of Ride Work
I ride all types of horses, many OTTBs, QH, a TWH, and a friesian, primarily English, but comfortable Western and bareback. Many are problem horses or have been sitting for extended periods and need refreshers. I've not started any horses, but have worked with many that are green broke. Hunter/jumper foundation with dressage and biomechanics later. Familiar with barrels. Jump courses up to 3'6", participated in many hunter paces. Recently starting liberty work with my personal horse.
