She, along with her sister and mother, opened their facility that summer and began training their own horses. After meeting Brandi that next summer she made it a goal to go through her training program to further her training education. Two clinics and one clydesdale later she and her sister ended up in Arizona learning the Lyons method and building a wealth of knowledge to further her understanding of horses and to better train both horse and rider.
