Born and raised in South Florida, Melissa fell in love with horses at a young age. Her family owned horses from the day she was born, and she grew up riding and caring for them alongside her mother and sister. Her first competition was at age 6, her first job to train ponies was at age 10, and her first professional training job was at age 16. In middle school she competed in the Junior Leagues on a horse she trained herself.  In high school, she also competed and qualified for state twice, on that same horse.  Melissa has run boarding stables for the past 10 years in Davie, FL. When the stables in the magical Enchanted Forest Elaine Gordon park became available, she could not resist seizing the opportunity to settle into the unique space.  She considers herself a "horsewoman" who is continuously learning and expanding, and who wants to teach others. What brings her the most joy is enriching the lives of others, which is obvious in the dozens of smiles she sees daily.
