Horses have been part of my story since childhood. I’ve always believed they have a unique way of reaching people. They have the innate ability to sense what words can’t say and offer connection in moments of uncertainty. That belief led me to dedicate my career to the equine world, working as both a professional farrier and a certified positive reinforcement trainer. I’ve spent years learning how to build trust and communication between horses and humans, always with respect, patience, and compassion at the center. I founded Equine Eyes because I wanted everyone to experience the love of horses through more freedom, connection, and independence. Miniature horses had so much to offer. My lifelong dream was to create a place of healing and hope, and Equine Eyes does just that. It enables me to provide healing and hope while working with such intelligent, emotionally sensitive, and eager equines who are uniquely suited for service work. I am eager to work with an amazing team and am proud that I can help individuals regain their mobility, confidence, and dignity while strengthening the human-equine connection. As Vice President of Equine Eyes, I remain hands-on in the care, training, and development of our miniature service horses. I also work closely with our leadership team to expand access, build partnerships, and ensure our services reach those who need them most. Our mission is paramount—serving the blind community and creating opportunities that empower lives through the symbiotic partnership between handler and service horse.
