Due to my broad background of knowledge and experiences within the equestrian community I offer a variety of services. I have listed a few of my credentials and experiences that have helped me evolve my philosophy and methods in developing horse and rider. I love all styles of riding, so do not hesitate to contact me if you do not ride “dressage”. I have personally focused my training in dressage, however I am available to teach a variety of disciplines, such as english, western, jumping and last but not least dressage.
