I am a University of Kentucky graduate currently living in Florida. I grew up riding and showing horses in Central and Northeastern Ohio spending much of my young life traveling to horse shows and lessons throughout Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. As a junior I competed in the hunters at rated shows, but I also was an active 4-H member and was State Champion at 16 in the Sr. age group for the Working Hunter Division--(which is comparable to the Junior hunters at open shows). At 17 I started to dabble in the jumpers and got completely hooked! I currently have a young Thoroughbred gelding that I am rehabbing and I hope to possibly start showing with him in 2009.
I work full-time as an equine veterinary technician and I braid manes and tails for horse show barns on the weekends. I also give grooming and basic veterinary/first-aid care clinics. While I was in Kentucky, I worked for Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital and Hagyard, Davidson, and McGee, and I even worked for a short time in the Legal department--Rules Compliance at USA Equestrian (now USEF).
