Cassie and her two OTTB's, "Bernie" and "Bessie" - Tanya, mother
I am a magna cum laude graduate of Marshall University in Huntington, WV. I have a double major in Political Science and English, and a minor in Criminal Justice. I have won numerous awards for my writing and am very knowledgeable of Political Theory, writing styles and grammar, and state and local government.
However, my specialty and love is training horses. I have worked with horses of all ages, breeds and sizes. I especially like working with stallions. I have started horses from the ground up, and have worked with green horses and Off the Track Thoroughbred (OTTB's).
