Simone has been in the horse industry for over 45 years. Starting at ther age of three in Palos Verdes, California, Simone progressed through the local show system to the "AA" show circuit becoming one of the top ranked juniors in the mid 1980's along with fellow top ranked juniors Candice Schlom King and Meridith Michaels Beerbaum in California. Simone's first Grand prix was at the age of 14 and continues to this day. After her junior years and Grand Prix's she traveled to Europe to bring along young jumpers and import them to the United States. Although her passion is to import and work with young jumpers she also loves to nurture the young riders in this sport. The future of our next Olympic athletes in Show Jumping starts at the local level.
