Established in 1997

Growing up in Guadalajara, Mexico, I looked up to my grandfather and father. They ignited the passion I have for horses. At an early age, they taught me how to take care of horses, how to ride, and how to connect with them. One of the most crucial things my father showed me is that horses are all different. The same devices and reins do not work on all horses. All horses have different needs and we as caretakers and trainers have to adjust to them. It was my father’s wisdom and his eagerness to invent products for horses that inspired me to follow in his footsteps and invent my own gadgets. I migrated to the United States in 1993. I was lucky to find a job with great people who trusted my work and gave me the opportunity to prove that my inventions work.

I am an amateur horseman with a passion for riding and building relationships with horses. I grew up in Minnesota in a non-horsey family but with a strong desire to be around horses. I began taking lessons at age 6, mucking stalls and cleaning horses to pay for the lesson program and the membership for a local fox hunting organization. During my business career in financial services, I realized that something was missing in my life and concluded it was, indeed, the connection I had with horses as a child. At age 30, I reacquainted myself with horses and took up the sport of 3-Day eventing. I began to truly understand the importance of direct, unfiltered, subtle communication between horse and rider. I have now evolved to focus on showjumping and have the pleasure of getting involved as a partner in the Happy Horse Yoke project, which marries my business background with my joy of connecting with horses. I currently compete as an amateur in jumping classes at various levels and simply love to ride.
