Education: see skills

Skills: I'm driven, dedicated, a hard worker, and a quick learner.

Interested in gaining more experience working with horses. I hope to eventually find something in the field to make a career out of.

I'm willing to put all of my time into the job, I take any work I do very seriously, even for the smallest tasks. I'm open to learn anything and try everything.

Feel free to ask about any questions you have!

Experience: I've gained over twenty hours of stall cleaning, grooming, and riding for thirteen horses over the past few months. I'm going to be getting more hours with grooming and pasture work with the same horses. I'm currently taking lessons there as well. The horses belong to my friend, Alexandra(Allie) O'Borsky, who does eventing with some of her horses.

I've only been riding five times, but continuing to ride whenever possible. The riding I have done was on trails by my friend's house with just her. I've only been in the arena once.

Feel free to ask about any questions you have!

Education: Just started learning over the past few months from Alexandra(Allie) O'Borsky.

Experience: I had my first pony ride when I was about 3 years old and I've been in love with horses ever since. I have been riding for about 3 1/2 years but recently the woman I rode for had to sell her horses. I'm very good at working with horses and I find them very beautiful creatures.

Education: Everything I know about horses, I have either learned by myself or from the woman I used to ride for. I'm still looking to expand my knowledge of them and I'm not afraid to admit if I don't know something. Anything about horses is something worth learning.

Skills: Photographer of almost four years, I do need work on riding, but i feel most comfortable riding western. I have ridden a good amount of times, but spaced out due to not being able to find somewhere closer. I am a quick learner. Very determined, hard working, and dedicated to horses.

Experience: Attended the 2010 MN horse expo with a ranch from WI and helped out with 8 different horses, Have ridden quite a few times but i do need more work with riding, but i am a fast learner.
