A intro to a big part of my life!

  After collage I moved to Maryland in order to become a working student. I spent a wonderful year at Bascule Farm, where I started my career in jumping. After deciding that Eventing was not for me I took a Job as a Assistant Barn Manager at a very large Lesson barn, were I went on to serve as Barn Manager and Head Instructor, sometimes at the same time lol.This lesson barn had up to 100 horses at a time and well over five hundred students per week. I learned more about the medical care of horses then most people will learn in a life time. Ranging from out breaks of Strangles, Flue/Rhino and herpes, and diagnosing every lameness known to man!. I also developed teaching skills that included starting a five year old child on there first pony and up to 4ft hunter/jumpers and 3rd level Dressage. Think of about ten years being shoved into four! This was a very important time in my life, a place of many tears and frustration but also joy. Its where I met John! Please stay tuned for my next story!
Sincerely,
Petra
