Horses are not only a way of life for me, they are simply my life! They are a window to my heart and soul. I have been blessed to have horses most of my life. I started riding at the age of 8. Earlier if I could have! I bought my first pony at the age of 10, with my own money I saved up. At the age of 11 I did my 1st Horse Trial and was hooked!! At that point hunters were out the window, and as they say, I never looked back. I have competed to the highest level of eventing, the 4 star level. I have had the privledge to train and compete several horses to this level including riding at Rolex 4 star on Lazy Dot and Raw Deal as well as riding at Badminton 3-day in England with Lazy Dot. I have brought along many many horses for eventing, dressage, show jumping, and fox hunting, as well as pony hunters, driving horses, and even gaited horses for dressage. I feel that to truly know the horse you must be able to understand how and what he thinks. I feel that God gave me a gift to help me understand the horse and how best to work with it.
