horse trainer/riding instructor, raise Emus and am otherwise a "jenny of menny" trades. Life's journey has brought me to a new level in the horse industry, Jousting! I began in 2010 not so much to joust but to get back in the saddle. Because of the treatments and how it effected my body and mind, I didn't have the strength or confidence to get back on and ride. The drafts used for the hard core joust require a mounting block to mount, so I was able to build strength by walking up and down the steps, and finally get a leg over. Eventually I regained confidence and balance
I fell in love with the sport and am Co-Founder of Northwest Jousting Association and am a member of the Knights of Mayhem, working with jousters around the globe to make Jousting a recognized sport here in the U.S. and to make it accessible to all.
