I became interested in Equine Assisted Therapies when I was in middle school, where my passion for horses and helping others grew tremendously, from then on I did whatever I could to volunteer and work at every facility that I could to gain experience and knowledge. I am in the process of becoming PATH certified to further jump start my career.
Equine Assisted Therapy
Show Groom
I have experience preparing horses for shows (both stock and pleasure type) by bathing, braiding, banding and putting in fake tails (stock type).
Training
I am proficient in training green broke horses as well as tuneups. I have experience training pleasure type and stock type western pleasure, hunter under saddle, as well as showmanship/ground manners. I have taken several courses to learn different methods of training for both riding and groundwork.
