Summary
At Rocky Mountain College, I am working towards a degree in Equine Training, set to graduate in the class of 2026. The coursework and practical training I have completed so far have given me a deep understanding of equine behavior, psychology, and various training techniques. Additionally, I have been actively involved in equine clubs and volunteer programs, where I have had the opportunity to work with different horse breeds, temperaments, and ages, enriching my ability to adapt and connect with each horse on an individual level.
