Liz started as a child apprentice under Virginia Orr, a TB exercise rider and show jumper from South Africa.  She learned everything from the ground up at a small, private farm in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania.  She showed hunters at local events but preferred hacking about the countryside on her Chestnut Appendix, Roger.  Liz attended Northwestern University as a Performance Studies major and learned bodywork techniques from professional dancers, artists, and athletes over several years.  She later modified these strategies to improve the horses she managed as the Equine Care Specialist at a therapeutic riding program.  Her passion for equine therapy grew and she attended multiple workshops and classes.  She went on to obtain a Certification in Equine Sports Massage and a University degree in Equine Rehabilitation. She has studied bodywork approaches under equine therapists and vets across multiple disciplines. She has seen the positive effects of this work on Grand Prix jumpers and dressage horses, thoroughbreds, saddlebreds, standardbreds, and horses in transition.
