Equine Work Experience
See above for most of my equine experience. I assisted in training a yearling thoroughbred filly under saddle in the fall of 2025 and have had experience in western games, dressage, jumping, and trail riding. At my university we have everything from Warmbloods to Thoroughbreds and even rarer breeds such as our Norwegian Fjord Danika. I have been riding since I was six and decided early on that this is what I want to do with my life. Even now, I am willing to learn anything anyone is willing to teach me. I have some experience working in and riding in local, unrecognized shows in western, hunt seat, equitation, and dressage and ridden in dressage clinics with Agnieszka Majewska. Should I have the opportunity to show again or go to more clinics, I will always take the added learning experience.
