MY STORY

Horses have been a large part of my life for as long as I can remember and even then there are pictures from before that.  My time with horses has led me down many paths on my journey to becoming a Horsewoman.  I began my training path preparing horses for use in kid lessons and youth camps.  This lead me to having my students show them in 4H, TBHA, IBHA, AQHA and APHA shows with fairly good success.  With experience riding horses in H/J, Dressage, Show Jumping, Western Pleasure, Horsemanship, Western Riding, Trail Riding, Reining and Team Penning I decided, in college, to open a mobile training company helping horses with people problems.  I have an ability to teach riders and owners to do most of the training themselves but for the first time I was doing all the riding.  To say there weren't rough days would be a lie.  It was wonderful, eye opening, terrifying... There were countless nights my fat shiny horses ate their dinners while I dreamed of affording Ramen.  Hard work and word of mouth helped to grow CG Combined Training.  Work and the search for knowledge have lead to Kentucky, California, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Louisiana gaining experience and miles on horses.  A trained Trainer takes twice as many miles as a trained horse. I have managed farms from small camps operations to large equestrian centers all the while always staying in the saddle.  The last several years I have embraced my passion for Western Dressage.  While I ride and compete in Classical Dressage as well, there is an at home feeling to Western Dressage.
