About Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

My Dad grew up on a cattle ranch in Colorado. I can\u2019t remember a time when I didn\u2019t want to live on a ranch of my own. I\u2019ve been riding for over 40 years, training horses for 35 years, and teaching young riders for over 30 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an adult, I had to overcome health issues, weight gain, and debilitating fear to stay in the saddle. Along the way, I discovered a love for the geeky side of horses (saddle fit, biomechanics, etc.) and a passion for helping other adults fulfill their horse dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I became passionate about first aid the first time I had a life-threatening emergency with one of my horses and the vet was an hour and a half away. I learned\u2013and continue to learn\u2013how to avoid emergencies through better care, how to assist my vet with better information, and how to help my horse until the vet arrives. I love sharing that information with other riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I became passionate about saddle fitting when I spent several thousand dollars trying to train saddle fit issues and then several more trying to find the right saddles. When finding the right saddle eliminated my life-long knee pain, I became committed to helping riders understand how their saddles affect not only their horses but their riding as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up, my trainers emphasized how a correct form allowed me to assist my horse in doing his job correctly. As an instructor, I became frustrated by trainers who argued that equitation was just about \u201clooking pretty.\u201d I love demonstrating to fellow riders how our form keeps us stable and safe in the saddle and how our position affects our horses\u2019 movements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
