- Housing on the property would be ideal, but it is not necessary for the right job. Also, even though I do not currently own my horse, I would like to in the future so stall availability is a plus, but also not mandatory
Qualifications
Most importantly, I truly love horses. They are special and taking care of them well brings me great joy. Went to a Monte Roberts clinic, read his book, studied his videos and then applied those principles in my own training. I have read numerous books and studied numerous videos, everything from riding philosophies and techniques to equine physiology, conformation and psychology. Proficient in Huntseat, dressage and western styles of riding. Very effective with lounging and long lining.

I have experience with handling stallions including two boarded at my farm in Florida. A Gypsy Vanner mare and colt boarded with me. I am proficient and effective with lunging and long lining.I maintain an immaculate barn, free of clutter with clean stalls. Effectively managed the team responsible for the horse care and barn up-keep during my time at Club Med, frequently pitching in and lending a hand when necessary, because I believe being part of a team means working alongside with them.

Started in England on feisty lesson horses ranging from large ponies to huge draft horses. Flat Work plus jumping. I owned my first horse at 13 and got to ride out in the open on an extensive Trail system. Club Meds rode wide variety of horses over lots of different terrain, including hilly countryside, and down the beach. In Hawaii took dressage lessons on my own 17 hand thoroughbred. In Ocala I rode a wide variety of horses including upper level showhorses with My instructor.
Competition Details
Competing was never my focus although I did read a lot about other peoples experience with it as well as articles, written by judges and well-known equestrians describing the standards they were looking for. As a child, it was not part of any horseback riding program that I was involved in. As an adult, my riding circumstances (ClubMed and Oahu) that was not available. I would enjoy facilitating and coaching other people in their quest…. Like a supportive, and encouraging mentor /coach.
