2.) Who has been your biggest influence in the Arabian breed in getting you to where you are today?
There have been so many influences getting me to where I am today, including Chick Sheridan, Gil Chavez, Mike Baker, Richard Sereni and Greg Gallun.
My clients are a big influence too. If they’re no happy, I’m not happy!

I’ve always been very committed to our sport and breed and have participated and/or served in many capacities. I have been a successful trainer, judge, committee chair, clinician and instructor. I have also participated as a judge and exhibitor beyond Arabian shows and have served as a good representative and ambassador of our breed.
