Equine\u00a0Specialist\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Mary<\/a>I have been involved with horses for over 35 years.\u00a0 Since 1982 I have owned and operated Bay Star Stables, a boarding facility for 16 horses, offering complete care and riding lessons, specializing in dressage.<\/p>\n

My involvement with horses over the years has had a huge impact on every aspect of my life and has shown me just how much a horse can inspire everyone.<\/p>\n

Through the years I have experienced \u00a0many \u00a0aspects of the equine world…from competing in Western, English and Dressage to trail riding and camping with my horse.\u00a0\u00a0 I have been giving riding lessons in both English and Dressage to both children and adults focusing on the complete care of the horse for over 25 years.<\/p>\n

I have held officer positions and have been active numerous organizations such as the Cincinnati Horseman\u2019s Club, The Ohio Horsemen\u2019s Council, and\u00a0 co-founded The Dressage Company.\u00a0 My business partner, Loni Sander and I started and developed the Bay Star Riders Program, offering free horsemanship instructions to at-risk and underprivileged youth.<\/p>\n

It is wonderful to see the personal development that happens when connecting with a horse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Loni<\/p>\n

Horses have always played an important role in my life, whether it was just dreaming about them and wishing I had one or realizing my dream of owning one.\u00a0 I have experienced the benefits of horses firsthand and am very excited to have found a way to share this type of learning with others who may not be as horse-crazy as I.<\/p>\n

Most of\u00a0my work experiences have involved social service, volunteering and working in the mental health field through agencies and schools.\u00a0 I have been exposed to many types of programs and counseling during the course of my career.\u00a0 My degree is in Psychology although I am an Equine Specialist in our business. I know that self-awareness, reflection and self-discovery are critical to internalizing change thereby providing a catalyst for personal growth. \u00a0I know! Who knew horses could do that?<\/p>\n

Past experiences include work with hospitalized children and adults, adjudicated youth, rehab centers, homeless shelters, social service agencies and Cincinnati Public Schools\/special programs. Volunteer experiences include: Board Member for Diamond Oaks Equestrian Program, Butler County Mounted Deputy Sheriff and other community-based volunteer projects.<\/p>\n

Interests of mine include Parelli Natural Horsemanship, dressage, trail riding, traveling to far-away places and new challenges!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
