About Me
Owner of Soft Touch Training. I have been showing and breaking horses since I was thirteen. For the past 4 years I have been breaking horses for Klaus Biesenthal owner of Bell Oaks Farm. I am currently training horses out of my own farm as well.
I have worked with Michael Page, Ralph Hill, and Leslie Law, as well as having my father be my main coach. I have all the time and patience that it needs to get a young horse going or to fix a problem horse. My passion is starting young horses and having them go right up the ranks, whether with me or someone else. I love riding in general and have done everything from western pleasure and high school rodeo to showing eventers, hunters/jumpers, and dressage. I have recently began to really love dressage instead of seeing it as a neccessary evil that all horses and riders need to do and understand. I love the rush that I get from jumping and it never gets old for me.
I am accepting horse in for breaking, training, or showing. Very reasonable rates. I am also available for lessons and coaching at shows.
My motto: "four days of work, two of play, and one of rest"
"only do what you enjoy and you'll be happy for all your life"
"Ask much, demand little, & reward often"
