Summary
I have been riding for 14 + years in the hunter jumper discipline. I've competed in schooling and C class shows in the divisions short-stirrup to long-stirrup up to 2'6 and have shown on the UNCG team for IHSA, mastering my ability to ride any horse I'm given. I've ridden young inexperienced horses to older lesson horses. I'm looking to further my education and gain experience in the equine industry in hopes of starting my own equine business one day.
