For over 30 years, horses have been my refuge, and my way of life.
My experience has taken me through many different worlds of horsemanship—starting on the east coast with Pony Club rallies and the hunter/jumper world, to becoming a regular in the California reined cow horse arena, an accidental stent raising halter Arabians, thoroughbreds in Europe and working in the field of equine veterinary care.
Along the way, I have learned that every horse, every person, and every situation is different.
My career has included becoming certified and serving as Head Instructor at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center, mentoring interns and future instructors, and working with horses from all levels of training, difficulty and domestication, flying with horses over seas, as working as an equine veterinary technician at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center.
But the most important lesson I have learned did not come from a title, a method, or a discipline.
It came from realizing that the best horsemanship begins when we know what we don’t know and start truly understanding the horse in front of us.
A horse's behavior is influenced by many things: genetics, history, training, environment, health, management, and the relationship between horse and human.
My goal is to help horse owners gain clarity, improve communication, and make better decisions—whether that means understanding a challenge with their current horse, finding the right next step, or choosing the right equine partner.
The value of the information is in understanding the application. There’s a difference in collecting techniques and developing horsemanship.
