Barn raise complete!
I've had a passion for horses since a very young age. I began riding lessons when I was nine years old, and eventually progressed to owning my own horse at age 13. I was on the Rutgers University Equestrian Team in college while earning an Animal Science degree, and continued riding/jumping into early adulthood. Once I had a family, I was able to introduce them into the horse world. The most perfect pony was the key to continuing a lifetime involvement with horses - now with my daughter!
We've been involved in everything under the sun, from 4-H to hunter/jumper shows at The World Equestrian Center, to polo clinics and eventing, trail rides and bareback swimming, to trailering across many state borders and training on the ground to in the saddle. We have learned an incredible amount over the years, and in addition to holding an RN and MSN in nursing education, I am confident in our ability to provide expert care here at Winding Creek!

I've been around horses since the age of four, starting with an older, palomino barrel racing pony in the backyard that quickly became my soulmate. I would read books to her after school, use her as my therapist, learn to walk/trot/canter, braid rainbow ribbons into her mane...it was the ultimate little girl and pony relationship. My sister and I quickly realized that if one of us led Bambi to the very back edge of the pasture and the other rattled a feed scoop loudly in the barn, Bambi would tear across the field with one lucky kid on her back just for a handful of sweet feed. We did this for hours...and may have taught bad habits in the process. But hey, live and let live.
Since then, I've had the opportunity to own a handful of amazing horses, all of which have taught me valuable horsemanship and life advice. Over the years, I've dipped my toes into hunters, eventing, dressage, polo, mounted drill team, barrel racing, driving, showjumping, racing, foal-to-sale prep, and management. Several horses and years later, I'm still here and just as obsessed as I was when galloping across fields with the sweet, old pony that taught me the ropes.
Because of my mother introducing me to this wonderful world, it's been a crazy ride with my horses alongside me - and I have zero intention of ever quitting!
