Cortney has been involved with horses all of her life.  She has ridden Western and English. She began her Hunter/Jumper training as an adolescent at Kingswood Riding Stables near affluent Exeter, New Hampshire.  

Upon returning to Arkansas, she continued her training with top Hunt Seat Judge Misty Morgan. Cortney has been trained locally by Show Jumping Grand Prix rider Gabe Griffin, who was the only trainer in Northwest Arkansas to have participated at that level of competition. She is constantly adding to her abundant knowledge of horsemanship and riding by partaking in clinics with top level trainers including but not limited to: Aaron Wilson (see below) and Joey Brumbaugh (2012 Maclay National Trainer of the Year Award Winner).

Cortney is accepting a select number of students at this time. Come and join her at the Isuba Valley Horse Park.
