"The first thing I remember about horses is the sound of their hooves.  Before I knew what they were, I knew I loved them, just from the sound.  I was never fortunate enough to have that horse in my backyard that I dreamed of when I was growing up , but I was in and out of barns as often as i could be.  From there, it was a windy road through a smattering of hunter/jumpers, dressage, eventing and a handful of shows and clinics.  I have worked with Brea through Compass Equestrian.  My love of horses, love of listening and learning keeps me coming back day after day.  Every time I work with a new horse or a new client I learn something new.  I am always learning, growing and exploring.  I have spent years observing animal behavior and finding new ways to communicate with them, and I will spend the rest of my life continuing to do so and trying to build a common language.  Animals and training are my passion and I plan to continue working to help the horses and people who come to me as much as I can."

Today, I provide personalized instruction focused on developing confidence, refined technique, and a harmonious partnership between horse and rider. I invite you to join me in the saddle and experience thoughtful, professional horsemanship at its finest.”
