Duties of Current Occupation

I was the head trainer & riding instructor at Hunter's Haven Farm; a full service English Equestrian facility in Groveland, MA. Most currently, I was employed at Anderson Equestrian as a trainer at a competitive hunter/jumper barn.

Equine Work Experience

I started at Hunter's Haven Farm in 1994 and was employed with them as their head trainer & instructor until 2012. I rode 6-8 horses a day specializing in starting young prospects in ground manners, flatwork, and over fences. I taught private & group lessons to people of all ages & levels, & was hired by borders to ride & train their horses. I also trained thoroughbreds for the race track, including track riding, & took race horses off the track & re-trained them as hunter/jumpers, dressage, or event horses. I have trained under 2 Grand Prix dressage rides, training & riding horses up to Grand Prix level. Most currently; I worked at Anderson Equestrian as a trainer; riding on average 8 horses a day and teaching lessons. I also worked in Ocala, FL at the HITS Horse Shows under Grand Prix rider Mark Jungherr in 03, & worked in New Zealand training race horses; starting young horses & track riding.

Specialities

I specialize working with young, green, or problematic horses. I have extensive experience starting young horses and training high spirited, challenging horses. I also have taken horses off the race track and rehabilitated, trained, and sold as safe and quiet hunter/jumpers, dressage, or event horses. I also have experience with track riding, working as an exercise jockey in New Zealand. I am a passionate, confident horse woman.

Type of Ride Work

I am looking to share and expand my knowledge and skills at a dressage, eventing, or hunter/jumper stable.
