I have been involved with Saddlebred horses for close to 35 years.  I am a native from St Petersburg, Fl and lucky enough to still call it home.  I have served on many boards in my local community including the Jewish Federation, and our local Jewish Day School.  I was a member of the national Women’s organization for fundraising for the JNF.  I was also a board member for the American Saddlebred Museum.  Proud mom of 4 and grandmother of 8.

I’ve been loving American Saddlebreds since I was a child and showing my whole life. I run Avalon Stables, open since 1995 and have been promoting the American Saddlebred however I can. Serving ASHBA on the charter club committee in the past I see need for our beloved breed to keep reaching out and showing other breeds and the public how wonderful our horses are. As a small breeder I also see the need to keep creating these well bred show horses, to insure our future. And as a trainer I see the need for all of us to come together to support the organization the governs the breed we all have devoted our lives to.
