Summary

8+ years caring for and riding horses, primarily western and racehorses, made me capable of handling all kinds of horses and in training them to become easier and safer to ride and handle. I've worked on group trail rides and kid's riding camps, with all kinds of horsemen, along with being stable manager, ponying, colt starting, and training in Western and English disciplines. Looking to point my work ethic towards becoming a trail guide, where I can make new connections, teammates, and experiences on this next adventure.
