I am incredibly grateful to all of my sponsors for their generosity and continued support for my horses and myself. I wouldn't be able to provide my horses with the highest quality products without the support of my incredible sponsors.

Being apart of the Kep Italia team is a dream come true! Kep is unmatched when it comes to protection, comfort, and style. When it comes to safety, Kep says it best, "...designed to guarantee maximum wearability and maximum protection, thanks to the shape of the shell and the range of internal padding designed for the different morphologies of the head."
I have been lucky enough to ride in custom saddles my entire dressage career. My favorite thing about them is the variety they offer which gives me confidence that every horse has the best saddle for their shape and comfort levels. I can also be assured I will be in the best position possible at the same time.
Pro-choice is my go-to for my horses’ leg protection because of their innovative technology and safety when it comes to supporting horses' legs in the best way possible. My favorite is their Ventech all-purpose boots because of their ability to breathe and provide protection at the same time. I can also be reassured that these boots will not cause any boot rubs or blemishes to my horses' legs.
Manna Pro is an amazing company with a variety of products that we use in our daily routine. Some of our favorites are the Corona Detangler and Shine because it makes the hair smooth but doesn't dry it out. I also love Accubites Radiance during clipping season because shiny coats come from the inside out.
An incredible product that we use for many different applications. We use the powder as a preventative for fungal and bacterial infections on the skin and we use the clay on the cuts, nicks, and scratches as it provides a protective barrier and promotes healing.
I also use the powder on my dog's coat who suffers from allergies and itchiness, the powder calms his skin and provides relief. I love the shampoo for my dogs and horses it leaves them with a soft and moisturized coat while still fighting bacteria.
This brand is near and dear to my heart because they focus on horsemanship with their products. Their hybrid halters ensure clear communication with my horses while also providing safety. I trust Horse Education Company for all my horsemanship needs.

Fleeceworks quality and attention to detail in their saddle pads is what has kept me a lover of this company for so many years. Their saddle pads fit amazing and their fleece half pads are well crafted with the best wool and material possible. The pads are extremely breathable but also made for longevity, and I know my saddle pads will always stay in place.
For supplements Altech LifeForce is my go-to. One of the highlights of this product for me is the organic trace supplements. I trust Altech to provide my horses with the highest quality aminos and trace minerals while maintaining cartilage and gut support to optimize recovery.
This company speaks for itself with its incredible craftsmanship taught over 5 generations. Their hats are beautifully hand crafted and I feel like a million bucks every time I wear one!
