Over the past 35 years of my life with horses, I have experienced the honor of apprenticing with
select trainers, instructors, breeders and judges before going on to becoming a professional
horsewoman. These many different experiences have allowed me to study and exercise different
methods of training and teaching. I took from these professionals what I needed to format my own
method of training that has provided me with great success in the equine industry. With this
background as well as being born into this field via family background (my parents and
grandparents), I have earned the diversity and knowledge needed to achieve the respect and ability
to work alongside other equine professionals and enthusiasts. My methods of training, showing,
teaching, and communicating with horses is a talent I exercise daily to properly educate the horse
and rider as a cohesive team to excel and enjoy this wonderful sport.
I am an active member of the AMHA, USEF, CMHA & NEMHA. I have judged local shows and
demonstrated at several equine affairs. I specialize in equine consulting, sales/purchases and
produce quality stock and champions. Many of the horses, I have bred, imprinted and raised, have
gone on to be purchased; but remain in training under my direction. I have instructed and guided
numerous horses and riders to countless competitions and awards achieved at Local to Grand and
World National levels. All levels of riders aspire at Wynter Thyme Manor. I also continue to expand
my business by enjoying the opportunity to work with handicapped and special needs riders.
I work hands on in every department of my equine business. I will continue to start and finish
many horses and rider/driver combinations in a variety of disciplines. Although I am unable to list
them all, below you will find a few of my equine achievements as a rider, driver, trainer &

Twenty years old and living on a farm from birth, I have been given the opportunity to help
teach equestrians bond and become one with their horse. I currently work with Lance Wetmore, my
grandfather, and Melissa Lambrecht, my mother. In doing this I have learned new skills for training
and helping people achieve their goals. On the show circuit or for recreational purposes, I am
learning new practices everyday. I devote my Saturdays to giving lessons from 10:30 to 3:00. I not
only teach my students how to ride, I enjoy sharing my equestrian knowledge and experiences with
them.
I am a member of the AMHA, USEF, CMHA, and NEMHA. I had the chance with my mom to
judge the 2005 Terryville Fair horse show. This gave me a whole new perspective on different breeds
of horses. I currently am enjoying training several different breeds. Tennessee Walkers, Morgans,
and ponies they are all very interesting. I was also given the chance, as of early October, to train a
Flintwood Morgan horse that was shipped from Oregon to Connecticut. This was such a great honor
for me as a young equestrian. Below are my recent titles and accomplishments

Thyme Manor. Included in this group is a horse sent to me from a breeder in Oregon named
Flintwood’s in the Red. In addition I am training a lovely Jr. Mare for BHF named Flintwood’s
Brandy Wine, as well as the stunning Hylee’s Noel Sent to me via Hylee’s farm in Mount Horeb
