Horse experience

I have ridden jumpers since I was a 13, and I was lucky enough to work on the Grand Prix jumping circuit for 4 years with some of the best hunter/jumper trainers in the country. During that time my passion for off-the-track TB's emerged. I enjoy riding 'hot' TB's and have started many ex-racehorses (TB's and Standardbreds) under saddle. I also enjoyed working around the racetrack with TB's and Standardbreds, and working with a racetrack vet. After I was married in 2004 (with our horses, of course!), I worked full-time as a placement coordinater for the Standardbred Retirement Foundation in Freehold, NJ, and went to school part time. After graduating from Rutgers University in 2006, my husband and I reloacted to Wellington, CO (just north of Fort Collins, CO and south of Cheyenne, WY) in April 2006. In September 2006, I became aware that the largest kil-buyer in the nation lived right down the highway, and I incoporated Colorado Tb Rescue in November, 2006.

I own one horse, Slick, a 12 yr old Palomino QH gelding whom I have had since he was 18 months old. Slick and I enjoy trail riding, cross country jumping, and everything fun.

Jessee is now retired but loves to provide beginners for a fun ride. We adopted Saber in 2006 from the BLM and he has become an amazing trail riding mount. [IMG][/IMG]
