I am currently in the process of obtaining my Veterinary Technician License and have one semester of schooling left before I can sit for the VTNE. I have been First Aid certified before (and could easily become certified again), and I have my BQA certification, as well.

Administering medications and treatments, monitoring anesthesia, IV catheter placement, drug calculations, client education, updating and maintaining medical records, wound care, general nursing, and so much more.

I managed the equine department of a working beef ranch where we used horses to work and doctor cattle. I have also assisted professional trainers and lesson instructors in their programs, and I have done my own personal training work (from groundwork to finishing) and given riding lessons to students of various skill levels.

My general specialty is barn management, including facility maintenance and upkeep, and staff oversight. I’m comfortable with power tools, general mechanical maintenance, and hauling loaded trailers. I also have an extensive background in veterinary medicine and some limited farrier work.

I have started colts, ridden green and problem horses, doctored cattle on horseback, done extensive groundwork, and I run my own performance horses on the rodeo circuit. I do have some limited showing experience in other disciplines.

I’m a WPRA and APRA cardholder.
