I have led a blessed life filled with horses and opportunities. Receiving my first pony at the age of 6 started my lifelong passion with horses, fostered by Pony Club, dressage and eventing. My experience as one of a select group of working students for 2 years at a top level Illinois Dressage/Combined Training Professional facility only fueled my enthusiasm.
After graduating from University of South Florida in 1994, I expanded my passion for horses to helping individuals with special needs by cofounding InStride Therapy. Developing InStride from a grass root business, selecting and training the horses, and completing our state of the art facility has been a long and fulfilling journey. In 2002 I started playing with the Parelli Program; it was fun and amazing to see the changes in all my horses. Once I advanced and truly understood the Parelli Program as the foundation of proper Dressage and a true partnership with my horse, I didn’t just play with the Parelli Program I have become passionate and committed to learn even more.
Becoming a Parelli Professional is a dream come true! I have the opportunity to work with many different students and support them on their horsemanship journey. Being a part of the changed in my students and their horses is so exciting.
