About Me

My photo
Equus
I have been involved in the horse industry for 20+ years, currently have too many equine partners of my own, and have been involved in or am presently involved in everything from working cattle to jumping and dressage. I am a small-p-pro trainer who takes on a small number of client horses each year. I am knowledge-hungry and love learning from each horse I have the privilege of working with.
