Competitive Dressage Rider

I am an accomplished dressage rider. I manage my horse's diet, exercise program, and recovery program to help her achieve optimal performance. My job as a rider is memorizing tests needed to perform, managing the health of live animals, and organizing equipment to trailer across the country.
