FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Finding out what they can and can not do, starting out slow to build confidence in aquiring the skills they want to acheive.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been the agriculture industry my entire life plus a professional life in sale, marketing and fundraising.
Being raised on a cow/calf ranch as a young child to late teens kept me involved in 4-H, FFA and Young Farmers to presdient of the local Jr. Fair Board. At the same time showing beef cattle, hogs, sheep and horses. Competing in these life learning events helped hone my skills to become a trainer, teacher and the skills I have to offer to anyone who is willing to put in the time and learn; from speed events, showing horses, roping, team roping, cattle sorting/penning and clinics.
Working for many different horse trainers and a local veterinarian helped create the foundations needed to become successful in what I love to do in the equine industry. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!
I am simi-retired and only want to take on those who really have an interest is learning to ride and/or compete in horse events as I have a down-to-earth passion to teach! Every thing I have to offer applies to life learning steps for young and old, for beginners to all ready talented riders in the equine field. You may even have something for myself to learn in return...
