About
Not only do I teach, I also judge, do clinics, work with the 4h horse program, and can also help with your horse show. Please note that I do not have any lesson horses, so lessons will be with you and your horse at your place.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Spending time with them to understand what their goals are, how they learn, and ways to have fun.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a 4H horse leader for over 20 years. competed in many different disciplines (including cattle classes), been a 4H level rater, currently hold a 4H judging card, helped put on and manage horse shows, been a clinician, trained horses, and am a retired veterinary technician.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing for lessons depends on the discipline and if it is a private or group. As for being a clinician or a judge depends on the discipline and if you are looking a ½ day or more. Horse show depends on the job for instance if you are looking for a show secretary, I charge different than being a show manager. I do discount and have volunteered for nonprofit organizations (4H, FFA)
How did you get started teaching?
4H horse program
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with ones as young as 4 to adults, and those with disabilities, and fears. I do not discriminate. Having had some injuries myself, I have learned a few tricks.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Freestyle reining, working cow, and the classes that are availabe for those with disablities.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Be upfront and honest. Ask lots of questions, there is never a "stupid question". Watch them work with other students and watch how they handle a horse.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is your goal, how much time are you "really" willing to put into it.
