Trainer Bio

Individualized care and attention to detail ... this is the foundation in which I train. Spending most of my childhood and young adulthood in the hunter/jumper/equitation arena ... never in a million years did I think I would be in the Thoroughbred Industry. The initial curiosity that brought me to this world was why were the Thoroughbreds I was retraining for their second careers so badly broke; not understanding simple fundamentals of leg and steering. My plan was to take the fundamentals of breaking and training Thoroughbred yearlings from one of the top programs in the country and apply the necessary training techniques to help retrain the Thoroughbreds more easily. Well, I got bitten!! A shift happened along the journey where I wanted to carry on the fundamentals of a solid well broke baby and see them turn in to successful racehorses. My gift ... being able to see 'the horse.' Not allowing myself to be closed minded and make all of the horses train as one. I pride myself and my team on allowing each horse to have a personality and a voice. My belief ... a happy horse that knows they are heard will run their best ... PERIOD. I am blessed and excited to be on this journey and hope you are a part of it!

What's your normal use of veterinary services to manage horses on a day-today basis:
  • Aggressive ($700+ month/horse)
  • Moderate ($300 - $600 month/horse)
  • Occasional (less than $300 month/horse)
Comments:
I believe in Chiropractic/Acupuncture. In striving to see each horse as an individual, I pride myself on building a well balanced horse which hopefully produces a healthier horse. While there will be the inevitable injury, I do not believe in a veterinarian managing the barn. ALL procedures are discussed before treatment. (Unless routine or emergency of course!!)
Other than day rate, does your billing include charges for:
  • Veterinary
  • Blacksmith
  • Vanning
  • Travel
  • Other
Comments:
Billing is EXTREMELY transparent. I am an owner as well and surprises in billing are just unnecessary. My first priority is doing the absolute best by your horse, but this can be done in a conservative manner without excessive charges and billings.
How often do you communicate with Owners:
  • Daily
  • 2-3 times a week
  • Once a week
  • As needed
Comments:
ONE of my strengths. Technology has allowed for communication to be more streamlined. You deserve to know and see what and how your horse is doing. I do not believe an owner should be seen and not heard. While there may be different opinions along the way, an open line of communication and team environment are a must. If you aren't enjoying the journey, why do it?
