While I have not completed any courses or classes for equine, I do have over 25 years of hard-earned experience which I feel in many ways is even more helpful.

See resume attached

While my specialty described above does not reference horses that is far from my equine background. During my professional career I have maintained ownership of two horses, in addition to being an active member/secretary for our local foxhunting club, and being sole charge for a local facility for months at a time. I have been riding for over 25 years and started with a foundation in dressage where I showed to second level (schooling third level). I have spanned from dressage into the hunter/jumper realm and over the past ten years spent much of my time as an avid foxhunter. However, I believe in a well rounded education and consistently keep myself growing in dressage and over fence lessons (cross country predominately). I also have a background in riding aside, driving, and natural horsemanship. I currently own a belgian thoroughbred cross who is easing into retirement and a four year old thoroughbred mare who I aim to show aside in the future.

I am currently working in sales as I have for the past five years. Throughout that time I have gained experience in team management and streamlining a business. I am able to prioritize and multitask in a manner that ensures success and maximum productivity. While this is not linked directly to horses I feel it allows me to know the ins and outs of running a successful business and providing my employers a well rounded individual which I feel makes me unique.

In addition to above, I have a wide background in barn management and have been sole charge of a 40 horse facility. I am well versed in medical care from colic to abscesses I can do just about anything. I am able to work large equipment including tractors, mowers, trailer/trucks (I currently work for family trailer business). I have experience managing feed/diet needs, vet and farrier rotation, preventative maintenance, stalls, blanketing, body clipping, and show turnout.

I have previously competed up to second level in dressage while working for a Grand Prix rider. I have also attended local shows for hunter jumper and shown beginner novice in eventing. I have also competed in aside classes on the flat and over fences.
