Her program is individualized and she consistently evaluates and reviews long and short term goals with her riders and owners.   Every effort is made to ensure the longevity of each horse’s career by including in her team the most esteemed advisors in their field: Peninsula Equine (veterinary), Richard Brook (farrier), Nancy Elliott (acupuncture and chiropractic), Tony Schiro (energy work and healer).
