Higher Standards Grooming Salon

About Higher Standards Grooming Salon

My specialty is training horses, specifically hunter/jumpers. I have competed since age 5 in multiple disciplines. I've shown at Washington International, Scottsdale Arabian Show, IHSA Nationals, Arabian Nationals etc. I also coached the James Madison University Equestrian Team. I graduated, with honors, from Bridgewater College with a major in Communication and a minor in Equine Studies. I've trained professionally at multiple show barns throughout my career. While taking a break from training, showing and sales I decided to pursue dog grooming. Being able to work at the farm is a dream come true and has allowed me to fully engage in both passions. I am a very kind, open minded, caring, empathetic and understanding person. I realize on a personality level that I am not for everyone and everyone is not for me.
