Julie is originally from Cumberland, Rhode Island whose love of horses began at the age of five. While growing up, she spent all of her free time as the quintessential “barn rat”, running around numerous facilities, absorbing any information while growing her skill as a horsewoman.  Her riding career focused mostly on the Hunter/Jumper rings until transitioning into Western Pleasure before leaving for college. Julie attended the University of Findlay in Ohio where she double majored in Western Equestrian Studies with an emphasis in Riding & Training and Business Management.  While at Findlay, she was part of the Western IHSA Team, had several internships training colts, and worked at the Quarter Horse Congress. With these opportunities, Julie found a passion for starting colts and teaching lessons. Since returning to the East Coast, she finds herself working numerous horse shows, strengthening herself at the gym, spending time with friends, and of course, giving much love and attention to her pit rescue, Jane.
