YOUR AGENT      
       
Like most little girls growing up I was in love with horses. On my seventh birthday my parents gave me my first horse, a mean nasty little shetland pony named Dolly that tried to buck me off and bite me all of the time. I still loved her with all my heart. After Dolly came several quarter horses that belonged to my Dad. Then when I was 10 years old I took riding lessons from a woman who was a "trick rider", so of course I wanted to be just like her. If you know me, you know that it never happened!

As my Dad was into the quarter horse thing, I went with him to western shows almost every weekend. They usually had one or two classes of girls riding english saddle seat. This was fascinating to me and I thought the girls clothes and their horses were so beautiful. Of course I wanted to do that too but I never got the opportunity. High school and college came along and other interests took over. That is until I came to work for Independent Equine Agents about 15 years ago.

Kris Knight, my friend and owner of our agency has a beautiful saddlebred farm. When I came to work for her she let me ride a saddlebred and I took some lessons. One of my childhood dreams finally came true! Whenever I need my "horse fix" I go to her farm.

A University of Kentucky graduate, I have 30 years experience in the insurance industry in equine, personal and commercial lines. I am a member and supporter of many equine organizations. Look for my advertisements in the Thoroughbred Times, The Bloodhorse Source, Equestrian, Equine Journal and the Horse of Delaware Valley among others. I have also been interviewed on many occasions for insurance articles in these and several other equine industry trade magazines.

I am truly fortunate to be able to work in a business and contribute to the equine industry that I love so much.
