Ever had questions about horse related things and didn't know where to start? Are you writing an historical fiction story and need to know just what exactly a stablehand would do in their day to day life? How does one ride a horse anyhow? What do horses eat? Well, look no further!
I've been riding/caring for horses for 11 years at this point and am currently studying to be a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT). I'm possibly looking to later earn my specialty credentials in Equine Nursing (VTS-EVN). I currently own 2 horses (Tess and JR, 9 and 25 respectively) and work for a local barn while attending school. I've ridden both English and Western but have more experience in the latter. Ever since I was teeny I've been obsessed with anything horse. I guess you could call it a passion of mine.
I'm particularly interested in the branch of Natural Horsemanship (pardon the ill-defined marketing term there) used by the trainer Warwick Schiller. Many of his techniques have helped my relationship with Tessa, who definitely had some issues when I got her. I may want to train one day but that'll have to wait till I'm out of school. For now I'm having fun doing liberty and smaller tricks with Tess. I'm also interested in equine nutrition, but sadly there's not a veterinary specialty for it (yet!).
I'm not an expert by any means, but I guess you could say this isn't my first rodeo (ba dum tss). Hopefully, I can answer your questions and/or point you in the right direction!
