About Arena Equestrian

---

I have been riding horses for over 20 years, and teaching for more than 10. I grew up riding Western Pleasure at my neighborhood barn in West Nyack, New York. As a kid, I always dreamed of owning my own horse. I began teaching lessons at the age of 15 under the mentorship of my trainer, Lisa Owen, and my passion for teaching others only grew from there.

At 17, I moved to California and began riding Hunter/Jumper with All About Horses in Huntington Beach. Since then, I have dabbled in almost every discipline under the sun (Dressage, Vaulting, Barrel Racing, Reining, even Jousting!).

I value a well-rounded horse education and have been to clinics all over the country with trainers of different disciplines. I firmly believe you can always learn more!

I believe the horse comes first, always. I hold myself to a high ethical standard, both in my equine management and business practices. Many of my horses have been adopted from poor situations or low-end auctions, and I strive to improve their lives in every way that I can, while also offering affordable lessons to others like me with a passion for horses.

If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.
