My current occupation is Animal Caretaker at Green Chimneys' Therapeutic Riding Barn with horses, donkeys, and camels. There I am responsible for turn-in/turn-out, feeding, mucking, grooming, barn maintenance, and assistance during riding classes.

My equine experience includes: Lunging (with lunge line) and Free-Lunging, Beginner/Basic Training with both Horses and Mules, Ground Driving and Carriage Driving, and Riding Experience. I am currently learning the basics of Equine Myofascial Release. I also have extensive experience in leading horses during therapeutic riding classes, as well as preparing them for the classes (saddling, grooming, wellness checks, etc.)

Some of my specialties include: Equine Assisted Therapy, Work as a Stable Hand, Team Leadership/Coordination of Volunteers and Employees, Equine and Camel Grooming, Work with Disabled and Neurodivergent Children and Adults, and mucking in a timely manner. I excel at keeping paddocks and barn clean and maintaining a safe and balanced environment for both animals and people.
