Rachel attended Meredith Manor International Equestrian Centre where she studied all aspects of the equine profession. While at Meredith Manor she concentrated on Dressage and Jumping. She went on to be the working student for Erika Fluery in West Chester Pennsylvania where she learned much about the FEI levels of dressage. At age twenty she went to work for Debbie Hubbard of Lake St Louis Stables as her assistant trainer. She was in charge of riding and training (under Debbie's instruction) 6 to 7 mounts a day. Rachel also taught beginner and intemediate lessons. Rachel was in charge of the entire operation when the owners and Debbie wintered in Florida.
