| Welcome to our web site, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me, my education and my training programs. |
I was born in the San Joaquin valley of California, to
a farming family who always had horses. I rode
everything from barn sour ponies, to wild Cayuse
Indian Horses, to the best barrel and rope
horses money could buy. While growing up I spent
most of my life on a horse, and I decided to
center my college career around horses. I
graduated with two degrees, a bachelors in both
Social Science, and Equine Science.
I have moved around to areas such as South
Dakota, Wyoming, and the Mid-South to learn
about the diverse horse industry throughout the
United States. I currently reside just south of
Memphis, TN with my husband, two daughters, and
my son. We are all actively involved in horses
and participated in numerous shooting sports on
the side.
I have spent many years attending as many
clinics as possible to learn techniques from
great trainers such as Lester Buckley, Champion
Barrel Horse Trainer Lyndee Stairs. I
apprenticed with California Vaquero Villa West
of Tehachapi,CA and Richard Harris, COS
Equestrian Instructor and COS Varsity Equestrian
Team Coach. I worked at the following places,
Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, Greg Ward
Quarter Horse Ranch and The Tubbs Cattle Ranch
in South Dakota.I use the unique technique
called "SENSORY TRAINING". Using these methods,
it helps build the confidence in horse and rider
to be able to excel in any discipline with
confidence, and pride. GOOD HORSEMANSHIP IS GOOD
HORSEMANSHIP no matter what discipline you ride
in.
Spending my entire life with horses been
involved with the following
gymkhana, barrel racing, roping, western
pleasure, 4-H, FFA, and horse judging team at
Monarche High School. Porterville Canterbelles
COS Varsity Equestrian Team, Fresno State
Varsity Equestrian Team. Rode for 6 months at
the Riata Ranch, member of ATRA, Laton Rodeo
Association, Riverdale Rodeo Association, High
School Rodeo, Coursegold Rodeo Queen Coach.
Project Cowboy 2010 Mustang Incentive Trainer,
and currently competing in the Extreme Mustang
Makeovers. ACTHA, EXCA, Mounted Shooters Of
America member.
