I'm sick, I'm exhausted, I'm cold. i won't talk about my problems because it's not relevant to horses or my career. All I can say is that I'm struggling, but I still do my best even when I'm drug through the mud.

Fact; all experts were novice.
Fiction; experts are always right.

I worked with a world renowned trainer, she gave me high praise for my skills.
- her dog followed me off the property and under no circumstances did I provoke it.
- she scolded me for not sending the dog home.

I lost all respect. It is not my responsibility to train, school or educate your animal.
This opened a door of holes in the training I saw and that I now see.

I am not the name in front of you. I am human and will make mistakes, but unlike this. I choose not to blame the people (the judge didn't see the other girl do that bad thing) but I acknowledge them. There are patterns in people.

There are times where I say something out of anger, but I will always fess up to a mistake because it will do me no good to hide my lack of ability, rather to train it out or re-school my thoughts to earn a better outcome. I apologize.

My love, respect and admiration.

About me

I was the daughter of a single mom, I grew up in Calgary and moved to Sooke when I was nine. From the ripe age of 5, I knew I wanted to ride. But not just ride a horse, I wanted my own. I saved and by the time I was 15, my mom took me to look at a retired thoroughbred, I thought I knew everything there was to know about horses by reading. Pirate taught me the things you don’t learn in books.

A one-eyed horse about 16 crooked hands, allowed the establishment an incredible connection and a concrete seat for those spectacular sudden movements, but his time was a gift; arthritis and starting gate injuries caught up with him by just sixteen years of age. I was nineteen and on September 1st, 2001 said goodbye to the best being I had ever known.

I started working for Saseenos Vet just the year before I said goodbye. I was lucky to have had such incredible people in my life. By the time I was 24 I decided I wanted to pursue a career as an Animal Health Technologist and so for nine years I worked as an AHT for a few clinics on Vancouver Island.

I had my son and then a daughter and soon realized that my passions were on a timeline. I could not commit to my job and be a strong parent so I moved on. In 2016 I started working for an online Technical company called Checkfront Inc. Seriously my favourite play to be, work and live my life as I was able to work from home. Then in March 2020, life for all of us changed. All avenues of careers were in jeopardy - I counted myself lucky, already working from home.
