About Us
Quaker Pointe is more than a location —it’s the story of a life shaped by horses, dogs, people and the bonds between them.
Raised on a hobby horse farm in the foothills of the Adirondacks, I’ve been riding since before I could walk. My childhood was filled with animals of every kind, but horses and dogs were my heart. I raised my own mare from a foal, trained her, and competed with her throughout high school and college. She taught me discipline, patience, and partnership. When I sold her, it was the most difficult choice I have ever made, and I thought I was closing that chapter for good—stepping away from horses and teaching.
But life had other plans.
I found myself drawn into the world of AKC field trials, where dogs and handlers work together on horseback. My horsemanship gave me an edge, and I thrived—competing as an amateur among professionals. I trained and campaigned my Weimaraner, Axel’s Tru Calling (“Tru”), who became the #1 Puppy and Derby dog in the country. My foundation GSP, SouthPines She's Somethin2talk About (“Chatter”), shocked and amazed judges and handlers every time she entered the field. These dogs weren’t just competitors—they were family, raised underfoot and bonded deeply to me and my family.
When my daughter turned seven, she formed a powerful connection with “Liv,” a puppy from Chatter’s litter. She wanted to ride so she could compete in field trials too. I couldn’t find a local instructor I trusted—so I leased a horse and began teaching her myself. That experience rekindled my own horse-human connection. Soon I was teaching other children, rescuing horses from kill pens, and building summer camps that blended riding with rehabilitation and empathy.
