Horses have been a large part of my life since I was a young girl. I began riding lessons at the age of six. I owned my first horse when I was 15 and sold him when I went to college to major in Horsemanship. I bought a large pony in my senior year from the college and took him with me when I moved to North Carolina to begin managing a stable and teaching riding there. He was the horse of a lifetime and I miss him greatly. Since then I ride horses for other people which has saved me the expense of keeping my own.  My own background is in Hunter/Jumpers so the main focus will be on that discipline.

I currently am teaching at Hopkins Spring Farm,  and Bonafide Farm. Both fantastic barns with wonderful clients!
