Amy has always been passionate about horses since a very young age. She took lessons for 11 years before getting her first horse, Mr. Wonderful. Together they accomplished everything competing in all disciplines. They have taken several championships at the 'A' rated hunter/jumper shows. Amy then proceeded to win several horse trials until her horse got arthritis. After retiring Mr. Wonderful from jumping, they picked up Western after which they won even more championships. Together they competed in everything: eventing, hunter/jumpers, dressage, jumpers, western, trail, showmanship. Because of this wonderful horse, Amy is extremely versatile in her riding.

Since Mr. Wonderful, Amy has trained numerous horses and students and enjoys every minute of it. She is a certified riding instructor in the CHA.

Amy had has the privilege of training under several amazing trainers such as Carol Kozlowski (Upper Level Eventer), Carel Ejijenaar (FEI International Dressage Judge and past coach to Greek Olympic Jumping Team), and Hank VanBergen (coach and trainer of the Dutch Dressage Olympic Team). She also studied under Jo-Anne Young for four years at Houghton College which enhanced her riding and all around horse management skills.

After receiving her business and equestrian degree from Houghton College in 2007, Amy opened her business High Standard Stables in Dansville, New York after her family move there.

Amy is living her dream of teaching riders how to become the best riders at any discipline and taking horses of all breeds and disciplines to the show ring and competing.
