Jump Start Horse Trials week is here, and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m honored to be this year’s title sponsor, and I’ll also be competing throughout the weekend.
If you’re coming out to the Horse Park, stop by my trailer in day parking! I’d love to meet you, chat about your riding goals, or talk through any real estate questions you might have—whether you’re dreaming of your first farm or considering listing your current one.
Come say hello and enjoy a great weekend of eventing!

Supporting our local equestrian community means the world to me, and I’m proud to give back to the sport and the people who make it special.
As both a rider and a realtor who understands the unique needs of horse owners, I’m always happy to provide a no obligation market analysis of your farm or equine property. Whether you’re curious about your home’s value or thinking about making a move, I’m here to help.
If you see me out at Jump Start Horse Trials or other events, say hi—I love connecting with fellow horse people!
