Started out in dressage as a youngster, was an exercise girl on the thoroughbred race track as a young woman, jumping, dressage, etc. later. Also, taught English lessons.

For a while worked on a ranch in Montana in my earlier years as well.

Used to take my thoroughbred to do cattle penning a little. Trust me, he was not very well behaved the first couple of times - he hated those cows!
While we were waiting to go in for the first time (I was teamed with a girlfriend riding a paint stallion who was used to cattle penning) my horse tried to kick the boards of the arena right off the posts! Guess I should have ridden him a bit that day before loading him up and taking him out at night to the cattle penning! LOL
