Hack, prep and clip. I love helping them.
This is a more senior barn who call themselves the Flying Fossils.
Bend weather can be extreme, so I try to help them in any way I can.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Dessert International Horse Park; Burgundy Farms, CA
2024
At DIHP Winter Circuit, I assisted with sales. This position required me to show sales horses alongside professionals; Meredith Herman, Jen Serek and Tayler Cobb. My job also included assisting with sales, meeting with clients, scheduling, sign-ups, grain, and working closely with our vets and grooms. To preserve my Junior status, I did not accept payment.
Sunnybrook Elite Riding Club; Santa Barbara, CA
2021-2023
At A-rated shows, I have prepped, warmed up, and ticketed up to 10 ponies and horses each day, six days a week, alongside professionals and clients. To preserve my Junior status, I did not accept payment.
Shows include: Desert International Horse Park, CA; Sonoma Horse Park, CA; Paso Robles, CA; Kentucky Horse Park, KY; Hampton Classic, NY. I absolutely love this barn and cheer my kiddos on every time they show.
