I am a certified veterinary technician, University equine studies instructor and have bred, raised and shown Arabian horses for more than 30 years. I have a M.Ed. from Colorado State University and a Master of Veterinary Education from Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine. 

I love teaching others about horses! My interest in horses began when I was very young and I love  to encourage those who have an interest to learn as much as they can about these amazing creatures!
