Here is what she says:
I have invested many years and a large amount of effort into my education and self development – personally and professionally. My goal is to share my knowledge with my students, so that they are happy, successful, competent horsemen. Natural horsemanship should be present in all disciplines of the horse industry, whether it is recreation or performance-based. My goal is to be a great example in the Horse Industry, share valuable knowledge, and empower people to excel.
