Brief Riding History
Years Riding: 10, Current Trainer: Roxie Bernbaum
From the time I was two years old I have been riding, and possibly before that! I am well versed in many disciplines, however showing a
reining horse and break-away roping are my favorites. I am most skilled in western notably reining. Although, I do have substantial
experience in the English disciplines of Huntseat Eq, Hunters, and Dressage. Since I was ten years old I have been starting colts on my
anyone is a great feeling. This love for achievement and skill for training horses, which I learned from my mother, led me down the road
to success. I have had many horses over the last seven years of my life, all with different talents and levels of ability, but I learned to show
all of them and allow them to perform at their highest level.
I currently participate on the Oregon High School Rodeo team in the events of Breakaway and Barrels. I am new to rodeo
but I have been riding my whole life mostly completing in reining. I qualified for the OHSRA state finals in 2009 in
Breakaway, which was my first year in the association. I truly enjoy this sport and the skill and time it takes to be great!

Yes, I acquired youth points in reining at the AQHA shows I have attended. My main focus has been with NRHA.

was eleven receiving multiple plaques and pewters in the youth, novice horse non-pro, limited non-pro, intermediate
non-pro, and the non-pro. When I was thirteen I qualified for the NRHA Adequan North American Affiliate ended up
seventh in the world.
Last year I qualified for the NRHA Affiliate Finals again. This time on Hershey's half sister Espressolina, which I
trained completely myself. It was her first show season so it was impressive that we did so great at the NRHA
Western Affiliate Finals. I qualified in the 14-18 youth, novice horse non-pro, limited non-pro, intermediate non-pro,

The Video above contains the following:
The first horse is a 9 year old rehab Paint mare (Annie) that hadn't
done any reining when I bought her. She had a lot of issues to work
out but ended up being nice. The video of her is a short clip of me
turning her in each direction.
The next horse is a six year old Quarter Horse mare ( Mesa) that is
a finished reining horse. I am performing a stock seat equitation
pattern on her at the Oregon High School Equestrian Meet. We
placed first at the meet.
The third horse is a 3 year old Quarter Horse gelding ( Willy) that
had sixty days on him in the summer of 2008. He had about 10 or
so rides on him off and on in 2009.
The video above is me showing Mesa at the Northwest
Regional Affiliate Finals in 2008. This was her 5th show
and it was her very first show season. The first run is the
Non-Pro and the second run is the Youth 14-18.
