Born and raised in Kassel, Germany, I found my love for horses at an early age. I Spent every available hour on horseback or at the barn and started taking weekly lessons in my teens. I was quickly accepted into Hessen Riding School, Dillenburg where I completed levels 1-3 and became a Certified Riding Trainer-B. After discovering a passion for dressage, I began my lifelong journey in educating myself and my students.
The Move
My Upbringing
My Upbringing
After meeting my wonderful spouse, Kevin in 1988, we married in1990, and our daughter Kendra arrived in 1991. Kevin was an active duty soldier in the U.S. Army and we found ourselves being sent to Fort Knox, KY. We were able to import my, at the time, 5 year old Trakehner Gelding, Poseidon and continue our dressage journey.

Picking up the reins where I left off in Germany, I began accepting students and helping them to achieve their goals in riding. I have successfully brought Poseidon up through the levels and I am looking forward to starting a new journey with two up and coming mounts in 2024.
