This is Rio my home bred Throughbred mare.  I bred both her and her mother Fancy.  We competed up through 3rd level and had some fun with some upper level movements. I was an animal science major in college and a Massachusetts licensed riding instructor. I also ran USDA regional competitions for many years.

I "went to the dogs", clicker training and agility in 2000.  I was fortunate to find Karen Gorman and Fit-N-Trim agility in Rowley, MA. www.fit-n-trimdogagility.com. and Brenda Buja who gave us such a solid foundation. I am a serious agility student and have done clinics, camps and seminars with many of the top trainers, too many to remember.  I take a little piece of all of them with me into the ring.  Clearly, I am a very lucky person.
