- Comments
- I am flexible and open to the type of position and length. For 2 years I've been getting back into horses after a time away and my wish is to get my skills back and my seat strong again. The muscle memory is there - I just need saturation.

Specialities
My specialty is care - I have an eye for detail and recognize when horses or people need help or are in distress and need extra care. I am very creative, intuitive and have magical problem-solving skills that show up at the right time. I love to see things improve and naturally tend to make improvements in either time management, organization, or the appearance of any place I work. One of my favorite offerings is body work on horses to keep them moving freely and prevent injury.
