No, I have worked with multiple trainers over the years but have not been certified in a specific field.

Giving lessons at a local barn and training show horse prospects.

I worked in a Gypsy Vanner breeding and show barn for over four years. I was a manager at this facility and handled day to day activities as well as scheduling appointments and lessons. I handled all ages and personalities with Gypsy’s and loved doing it.

I have extensive work with stallions, broodmares, and foals. I managed a barn and worked with other employees to complete tasks needed. I work efficiently and quickly when needed but take my time and show patience if necessary.

I have worked heavily with Arabians and Gypsy Vanners. I have started and broke many horses including halter breaking foals and yearlings. With halter breaking, I have worked through desensitizing young ones through all experienced show horse tasks including bathing, clipping, standing tied and introducing them to the show world. I broke horses to be english and western horses. I have extensive work with stallions. Most of my expertise remains in flat work but I am familiar in jumping.

Competed in high competition horse shows with Gypsy Vanners and Arabians. I have shown saddle seat, western, hunt seat, and side saddle.
