I was raised on a farm in Northwood, NH and got my first pony at age six. When only eight, I started competing in multiple disciplines beginning with riding and driving in “Pet Type Pony” divisions at local shows, many classes at Deerfield Fair and the A show circuit in Saddleseat Equitation all the way to The Big E. I did six, 50 mile Competitive Trail Rides and showed Hunt seat Equitation. Then, in my late teens, I learned about 3-Day Eventing – WOW!

Years of training and riding in eventing took me to the USEA sanctioned Preliminary level (while having and raising three children!).  Teaching others, buying and selling horses were natural ways to finance my passion.  l took my horses and most students to hunter pace events, hunter trials, jumper shows and clocked many miles on the trail.

All through those years, I took lessons and clinics with knowledgeable teachers in the event and dressage world. The USEA clinics with Jimmy Wofford at Ledyard Farm in Hamilton, MA, were some of the best and most influential to me.  As a result of the above experiences, I teach a classical balance seat to ride in harmony with the horse not only in a ring but to jump and ride safely in the open over varied terrain at a controlled speed.

Maximar, my homebred Hanoverian cross and I continue to train for eventing as well as bringing along enthusiastic students. Several are successfully competing at the USEA sanctioned level.

Even if your goal is just pleasure riding, my experience and techniques will help guide you to a better relationship with your horse. BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME.
