Amy grew up on a small farm and owned a couple of horses.  She was 5 years old when she first started to ride, and 13 when she got a horse of her own – he was a young and spirited Arabian.  Amy competed in Arabian Horse Association shows, mostly in dressage, but some jumping too.  She worked as a Veterinary Technician and gained a great deal of knowledge about animal health and first aid, and became Certified as an Animal Behaviorist.  Amy attended Tunxis Community College and Central Connecticut State University for her degree.  She is grateful to have horses as a part of her life, and loves to share that with the participants in our program!
