I have been riding horses cosnistently since I was 9 through an organization here in Colorado called Westernaires. I rode every week for over 10 years, putting in many hours taking care of the rental herd of over 200 horses and ponies. I was a Junior Wrangler since I was 10, where I would teach people how to care for and tack horses, while also making sure they were taken care of and healthy between rides. I also have been a Junior Instructor since I was 11 teaching kids how to ride horses while I was on horseback beside them. I ride mainly western, but am totally comfortable riding bareback. For 9 years I rode horses in the rental string and have had experience riding over 100+ different horses of various different ages and skill levels. For my last year and the half in the organization I worked to train and graduate off of a horse I leased at the National Western Stock Show.
