Vanessa was born and raised in the interior of Alaska. It was there she realized her connection to nature and all living beings. Horses became a passion at a young age. Cantering through fields on long summer days she experienced the freedom and joy that horses can bring and is honored to in turn provide therapy for the noble creature that is the horse. Vanessa enjoys gentle training methods, dressage and trail riding. She lives on 5 acres in Ferndale, Washington with her husband and two horses.
