My Mission: To provide students with an opportunity for a successful future with horses, by teaching sound horse handling, safety, and classical riding techniques.

Horses have a unique place in human history.  These powerful and noble creatures captivate our hearts with their beauty and strength.  Horses are also treasured partners with an extraordinary capacity for learning. Taught with a careful blend of simple steps repeated over time with understanding, discipline, and strategy. Learning to handle a horse allows people to develop techniques for overcoming life’s challenges. The rewards of handling, riding, and partnership with one of the worlds most majestic creatures can change a person’s life and their perspective on life around them.
I have been a part of a farming and ranching family in Linden, California for 5 generations. My family was involved with thoroughbred race horses in Northern California for many years. 
While in San Diego, I co-founded Winner’s Circle Ranch a Non-profit organization for at-risk-youth and race horse adoption. A student of the horse in both english and western riding I offer lessons and training  specializing in starting people on horses, instruction and coaching for intermediate through advanced riders.
