Summary

I am a detail oriented individual looking for a position where I can learn and grow in my riding. I am not afraid of hard work and have experience working in a high performance reining barn. Taking care of each horse in the barn as if it were my own is something I take pride in. Hard work does not scare me, and I am willing to put the time and effort into improving myself.
