Love Thy Horse Issue 1 | Page 38

Over my western career I've won some really prestigious titles, with many home bred horses in all disciplines. Ive also helped youths, mature aged and select senior riders win and get to represent our state and country. My goal now is to help rehabilitate riders and horses from home and not have to travel as much as on the show circuit, like I did when I was a pro. I really like these days where I meet people and help them achieve results with their horses and their riding. I feel this is my real strength and passion for the time being and as I get older. I still train a small number of pleasure horses, however i don't want big numbers anymore, as i find it more enjoyable for all parties with a smaller show team. It's also easier for me then to be able to break my day up, train my pleasure horses and then train me in my new hobby/career; tricks and getting horses desensitized to make great and safe kids and adult horses. I offer training in everything now from western to horsemanship and problem solving. I run a number of clinics now in the western, horsemanship and problem solving areas. I also do selling, buying, leasing, transporting and agistment. We have a wonderful establishment here in Helensburgh, with paddocks, yards and stables, 2 round yards and an arena, and many trail rides as well.
