Hello, I'm Gracie H.
I am a 22 year old from Windsor, Colorado with a passion for horses and 17 years of experience behind me. I graduated from CU Boulder with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and have since been working at a grocery store and weekends at a boarding barn. I am a hard and honest worker who follows instructions well and has great intuition. I care about the well-being of people and animals, and can’t wait to show that in my work. I am not a professional, but am a well-rounded horsewoman. I am in the process of taking equine training and management classes and labs to advance my qualifications.
