I have a terrific life passion that I love to pursue and share. My days are packed with Outschool classes on Everything Horse!, teaching English to students in China, tutoring in local elementary schools, teaching horseback riding lessons and riding/competing. Students come to class for a lively, laughter-filled, interactive discussion supported by practical experience and science. Our classroom and in-barn lessons explore ways to enjoy and care for horses on the ground and while riding. Learners of all levels are welcome -- from pony-crazy kids to competitive riders in all disciplines. While I have a B.A. in Journalism from University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, I owe a debt to 4-H. I acquired a strong foundation of equine knowledge, public speaking, team competition and best friends for life. I am a certified Pressure Proof mentor that allows me to coach others through their anxiety to become confident equestrians. I use these sports psychology strategies in my own riding and competitions where my excellent coaches keep me striving for improvement. I look forward to passing on this valuable information to your kids. Everyone will meet the real star of the show: my adopted Thoroughbred ex-racehorse, Rally!
