Even as a young rider, I was intrigued with riding theory. I wanted to better understand the "HOWs" and the "WHYs" behind the elements of riding and training horses.

Understanding how our bodies move and, how we in turn, connect to and influence the body and movement of our horse, has been a wonderful and enlightening  journey for me. Sharing that with others is my passion!

​

Over the last few decades, I've pursued my riding, training, and teaching experience in multiple riding disciplines, and have obtained certifications and credentials in a number of areas. I am a Level III certified Centered Riding Clinician, a certified Life-Time Instructor of the American Riding Instructor Association, a former United States Pony Club Instructor, an experienced Body Awareness Instructor. I use my mechanical horse for teaching, presentations and rider bodywork.

​

To encourage the exchange and sharing of knowledge and information, I host guest instructors who teach a variety of topics at her “Lessons at the Lake” unmounted workshops. I  also continue to study, follow and incorporate the teachings of many equine and human teachers and bodyworkers.

​

I am proud to have served on various equestrian organization boards of trustees over the years, including, Centered Riding® Inc. and the Horse Park of New Jersey. Both are 501(c )3 not-for-profit, charitible, educational organizations.  I continue to serve on several Centered Riding committees.
