My horse career began at the age of 8 in Wisconsin, where I bought and sold horses and ran a horse livery stable. My horse interests included halter horse, western riding, hunter jumpers, driving, trail, and exercising horses at the race track. While at Utah State University, studying animal sciences, I trained galloped horses at the track. I also was a Quarter Horses and Thoroughbred jockey at track in Utah and Colorado. This period is what sparked my interests in 3-day eventing. I evented through preliminary level, while at the same time bringing many horses and students through the same level. I have scribed for several R and S judges. For seventeen years in Colorado, I owned and operated a 60 horse boarding/training/breeding/lesson facility. During this period I managed over 100 horse shows/managed several approved shows and events, including horse trials. I was also the chapter chair for Mountain States Combined Training Association for 2 years. While in Denver, I held an open-show judges card for western, english, halter, and hunters. I am a graduate of the Colorado State University Equine Reproductive Management and Artificial Insemination Program. Currently, I own and operate Pacific Equestrian Center (PEC), where my emphasis is on dressage. I import, breed, and market warmblood sporthorses. I prepare and handle breed show horses, including stallions. I have managed and PEC has hosted the Northern California Sporthorse Breeders Championship. I have received a USDF Instructor Workshop Award. I continue with instruction in dressage, and training of dressage horses. I have managed several 3 star dressage shows at PEC. I have successfully competed through Intermediare Level. I have received Bronze and Silver Dressage Medals. Currently, I am seeking the "gold" (2 scores remaining at Grand Prix).
