Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
New riders spend a portion of their private lesson on the ground learning how to groom and tack up their horse/pony. The remainder of their private lesson is mounted. Riders who have previous experience can arrive early to groom and tack their horse for the lesson.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BS in Equine Science. I am a "R" USEF Welsh judge and have judged at local, regional, and national shows in Welsh. I also am an accredited judge for the local hunter jumper shows, IEA, and IHSA shows. I am a coach for an interscholastic team (IEA) and a college team (IHSA).
