She has worked for many well known farms and organizations and is a current member or has a been a member of many horse riding/breeding/training organizations.  In Florida, this included being a member of her high schools' FFA horse judging team and working for a well know training facility in Tampa (HAPRA, INC), along with working with the Puerto Rican Mounted Police unit.

*Update* (September 2008) Rebecca was chosen as one of only 200 trainers to compete in the Extreme Mustang Makeover held in September in Fort Worth, Texas.This is an honor to be part of this competition. She had 100 days to train a wild mustang and compete it on a national level! Bucephalus is her horse and they did great in Texas!

Rebecca has also showed and won on a local and state level for many, many years. In 2004 Rebecca dove into the Appaloosa breeding business with her purchase of the Appaloosa stallion "The Jaded Award". "Jay" and his band of broodmares have continued to grow since its inception and Rebecca hopes to continue breeding quality Appaloosa Sporthorses.

Rebecca strives to develop a great working relationship between horse and rider.She works to allow horse and rider to develop their own level of comfort/accomplishment for each  individual horse/rider team.

Rebecca feels lessons should help the rider and horse as individuals and develop their potential as individuals.Wether you are a weekend trail rider who wants to get along better with your trail mount or a serious student who has aspirations of showing at Nationals, Rebecca can help you achieve your riding goals.
