I have been working for Slypner Athletic Horseshoes for six years. We manufacture and distribute the Slypner horseshoe, a highly engineered horseshoe that reduces shock and concussion by up to 80%. We carry and sell many products which, like our shoes, put the horse's comfort first. As dealers for the Ortho-Flex Saddle Company for eight years, we were highly aware of the benefits of a flexible panel system saddle.

When we were introduced to Carmi Weininger and the ReactorPanel Saddles, we knew we had found a product which had the ability to fit a much wider range of horses, as well as being a great fit with our current product line. Personally, I have been riding since I was a child, and grew up showing in the Fairfield, Connecticut area. I own two horses that I use for pleasure trail riding around my home in Vermont. I enjoy working with The ReactorPanel Saddle Company to show people and their horses the many benefits of these great saddles.

I learned to ride at an early age, with weekly lessons on the galloping buckskin horse in front of the supermarket at 25 cents a ride. Since then, I've ridden many horses in a variety of situations. Currently, I'm receiving instruction in Classical Dressage, and I'm still trying to develop my independent seat. I appreciate a horse with a respectful attitude, and I want to show my appreciation by providing a safe environment, pleasant activity, and comfortable equipment to the horse.

I have a professional background in Physical Therapy. This has helped me in my work as a saddle-fitting agent and as a horseshoe sales representative. My favorite part of working as a ReactorPanel fitting agent is the fun! ReactorPanel users are thoughtful people and look beyond traditional approaches. In addition, I get to hear good horse stories. With horses around me, the view is good and the smell is heavenly. I ride the trails of my area of Southern Vermont as often as I can. Dressage is something new to me. My favorite part of riding a dressage test is comparing our score to a previous ride. I think I like a situation where our main competition is ourselves.
