After years of being a working student, training horses on the side, and an attempt to make a career in corporate America, I decided to go back to school to earn my M.Ed. in Kinesiology from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Here I gained valuable training in exercise physiology, biomechanics, and was able to participate in sport research. Following the completion of my coursework, I worked closely with Dr. Sheila Schils, Ph.d. to further my equine specific biomechanics education. I now specialize in horses that have significant issues such as gait abnormalities, back and SI pain, kissing spines, or significant behavior issues under saddle. With my team, we have had an excellent track record of returning these horses to full work and competition, not just in dressage, but in barrel racing, eventing, and show jumping as well.
