I have over 30 years of experience in horse riding, training, and care, with a strong background in natural horsemanship, liberty work, eventing, and racehorse training. My professional equine experience spans multiple countries and disciplines:

• Cradle Mountain Adventures (Australia, 2017-2018): Ride Leader – conducted multi-day treks through Tasmania’s wilderness, cared for horses, and provided high quality customer service.

I am currently enrolled as a trainee in the Masterson Method Equine Bodywork (2025) and have completed an Introduction to Equine Bodywork (2024).
