Who I am and what I have to offer







I am a 16 year old who loves horses. I have been riding horses since an early age and am trying to take another step. I have been training horses since I was ten years old. I bought a green-broke five year old pregnant Haflinger mare. three months after I bought her, Lenanna, "Nanners" gave birth to W-Anoka and my training began. Over the next few years we worked together everyday and Lenanna, Anoka and I began to develop into a great team. Finally after 4 years i decided to move onto a challenge horse. I sold Anoka to a family that uses him as a kid's horses, AT 4 YEARS OLD! They have their problems but that is expected when putting a young horses with a total beginner rider. Orion's Crown Royal, the next horse I bought, was more of a challenge, he had a wild streak in him that made him so unpredictable he was dangerous. At one point he pinned a lady against the fence and refused to move. After a few months work he was caught up to the other horses mentally and physically! We are now (after a year's work) working on the trot bareback, with just a halter and lead!

Horses, horses and training! That's what I have to offer. I use natural methods with the horses and believe that every horse should be respected just the same. I am looking to help people around Homer, AK that want;

Training for their horses,

Lessons,

Exercising,

and lastly,

Horsekeeping (Not boarding).

I am very knowledgeable about horses and would like to help but I will not put up with someone who does not use my help.

Some of my expertise is;
Colt starting

Helping problem horses
Imprinting and foaling
Assisted with breeding

Experience with assisting vet and follow up in first aid care and illnesses of horses
Riding lessons

Birthday parties
Camp counselor
Trick training; sit, bow, hugs, lay down, say no, shake hands, play , smile, set up for mounting, and kisses.
