Have some limited experience with (home) breeding and working with foals, from halter training to breaking to horse showing at A circuit level. *I’m very interested in learning more about sport horse breeding, young horse development, training and showcasing young horses for sale. Have worked with young, challenging, and athletic horses. Have led small teams of scientists in my other career and working students in barn jobs.

Riding experience has all been H/J. Started in ponies and riding OTTBs. Competed in big eq finals and 1.30m jumpers as a junior, currently competitive in 1.15m. Trained in programs with focus on flatwork fundamentals. I ride a variety of H/J “types” at my current barn where I help staff with flatwork and conditioning.
*Very interested in positions with riding/showing opportunities, especially of young horses.

Yes. I have show experience starting as a child in the local pony circuit to AA recognized horse shows at venues including PA National HS, WEC, GLEF, KY horse park, Tryon, Conyers, and Aiken. I worked as a show groom as a junior (MI) and as an adult in FL and NC. I’ve also worked as a professional Braider.
