Always having horse fever as a youngster, I was fortunate to have my grandparents grant my continued wishes of owning a horse. In the 1970's I started out with a barrel racing horse and spent my first years in a western saddle. Upon nearing my teenage years, I found myself wanting more challenges. I then moved into to the English jumping world. I relocated to the Eugene area to begin my training as a working student in two of the larger Hunter/Jumper barns in the Willamette Valley. I attended rated shows that allowed me the privilege and experience of participating in clinics with professionals such as Kevin Freeman, John Turner, Michael Patrick, Brad Laird and George Morris. In 1995, I left the training barns and began the search for my own facility. A year later Hobby Horse Farm was established, and I began a fulltime schedule of training, lessons, sponsoring clinics and attending shows. During that time, my interest started leaning toward more detailed work on the flat and I started dressage clinics with Sonya Vracko, Charles de Kunffy, and Lorraine Chappell. In 1999, I attended my first clinic with Karl Mikolka to learn the complexities and intricacies of the "Old School" system and have continued with his clinics to advance my skills in that method. Hobby Horse Farm is based out of Pleasant Hill Ranch, which is owned by Billy and Christa Gruner. It is a beautiful facility that offers an indoor arena, an 80 acre hay field (available for summer riding and trails) and a beautiful groomed 240 acres.
