Accomplishments

Confederation for Working Equitation - USA National Organization

  • Active Member (2014 - 2020)

Showing my horses in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas I earned a Nebraska State Grand Champion in 2016, a Kansas State Reserve Champion in 2017, and in 2018 I qualified for the National Show and placed 8th in the nation.

  • Artist, Creator and Distributor of All Year End Awards (2016-2020)

A volunteer position which I alone filled for 4 years. I created and distributed all year-end awards for the entire USA. Each year-end, I would create the awards, and deliver or mail each to the proper recipients. I would then submit the final receipts to the organization for reimbursement. Due to the reorganization and the exorbitant costs associated with the new club, I could no longer continue to be a member. I resigned my position at the end of 2020.
