About
I love helping people meet there goals!! Every lesson should end where the rider is walking away with am accomplished feeling and with homework for the horse and themselves🥰
I love teaching and riding! I'm good at it and want to share my knowledge with you! I've competed up to Gran Prix level so I know what it takes. Let me get you where you want to be. South Paw Ranch is a relaxed atmosphere where learning is fun. We pay a lot to do this sport. Let's enjoy it!!
