Centered Riding Instructor Level 1
Centered Riding became a true interest of mine many years ago when I attended an open clinic in Northern California. I am now a certified Centered Riding Instructor, not only to benefit able bodied students, but the Centered Riding process has become a valuable asset in teaching disabled riders.For interest in scheduling or attending a Centered riding clinic with level III or IV Centered Riding Clinician, contact me for hosting information.
You can also sign up for general riding or therapeutic sessions using the Centered Riding process.

PATH International (formally NARHA) Advisor, Instructor
I am a PATH Intn. (Professional Assoc. of Therapeutic Horsemanship) Certified Therapeutic Horsemanship instructor and also hold certification as Equine Specialist, specializing in the Mental Health and Learning fields.
I first became involved with PATH Intn. in 1978 in Randallstown, MD. Since then I have assisted several organizations with their own NARHA accreditation. I have also volunteered time in programs associated with hippotherapy, and am currently involved with Rehores Horse Rescue located near Jamestown, California.
I have lived with Cerebral Palsy since birth, and experienced the value of hippotherapy at a very young age, through my own little back yard mare and the encouragement of my father. I had spent years in physical therapy provided by the Crippled Children’s Society, but it was the equine assisted activities, that made the real difference in my life; not to mention the fact I have always simply loved horses.
Now available for open clinics, private equine facilitated therapy and lesson plans.
As a member of the American Hippotherapy Association, I am currently pursuing certification in Physical / occupational therapy with the goal of becoming a PATH Intn. registered therapist in order to benefit my clients.
