Welcome

I decided to create this site so that I can chronicle my never ending learning experiences. My primary discipline is competitive trail riding however I am interested in pursuing other disciplines including classical dressage. I have studied natural horsemanship for nine years and it has shown me how important a solid foundation is for both horse and rider. I have a passion for educating others and enjoy working with "problem" horses. My goals are to always remain open minded and to never stop learning.

Summer Break...Well Sort Of

Well it has been a while since I have posted and unfortunately I haven't been able to do much with the boys. Spring semester was more challenging than I was expecting and so my horse time was limited. Also, Eclipse had a nasty bought of rain rot and that contributed to him losing some weight. Now that summer is here Eclipse is much improved and I am ready to spend more time working with him.

Currently, I am on break and I just returned from a wonderful vacation out west. The highlight of the trip was in Kanab, UT at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. I was fortunate enough to stay with one of the trainers and the manager of Horse Haven. It was even better than I expected and has really given me something to work towards; I would love to work out there after graduation. Unfortunately I will be returning to school for summer semester but it is a fairly light load and I hope to have more time to spend with my wonderful horses.
