I have several years experience with basic daily equine care, including but not limited to: mucking stalls, feeding, watering, administering medications and equine first aid, bandaging, clipping, bathing, turnout, blanketing and exercising. I have two years of management and instruction experience, and, additionally have worked with horses in both rural and urban settings.

I have worked with foals, stallions and broodmares in the past and have managed care of herds of 20+ horses year round, outdoors and indoors. I am also experienced as an assistant barn manager, leading staff on training rides and hacks, as well as supervising staff schooling sessions. Supplementally I also am competent in the care of other animals such as cows, chickens, dogs etc.

The majority of my riding experience has been in english tack, however I do have an independent seat and some light western experience as well. I am well versed in flatwork, hacking, dressage and low level jumping. I have experience training horses ranging from age 6 to 30 of all breeds and sizes, who may be green, aggressive, spirited and/or spooky. I have limited experience starting horses under saddle, but posses a strong foundation in natural horsemanship and groundwork such as lunging.
