Patrick Sullivan

Founder and CEO

At 26 years old, Patrick took his first horsemanship lesson in March 2015. He did not grow up around horses, nor was he passionate about them until much later in life. 
Patrick grew up in Dallas, TX but was not involved with horses, instead had a passion for soccer. He played high school, collegiate, and professional soccer. Patrick coached collegiate soccer for 4 years starting in 2011, and was the head soccer coach for a high school. In 2015, Patrick graduated with his MBA in International Management from the University of Houston- Victoria. 
Once Patrick found horses in 2015, he was hooked. He was constantly learning and wanting to develop his skills. Over the past 6 years, he has accomplished as much as he could have ever imagined in such a short period of time. During the 6 years, Patrick has done the following: 
•	Completed Parelli Level 4 within a year and a half with the horse he started, Gami. 
•	Studied and interned with Ryan Rose, professional Brooklyn, WI. 
•	Worked with Dan James, of DDH since 2019. Since then has competed in the Mustang Makeover (TX), finishing Top 20 and 2nd in the newcomers. 
•	Finished Second in the Freestyle Pro Division in the ILHA Championships last October. 
•	Current Judging Coordinator for the International Liberty Horse Association
•	Gamilah Unbridled-  Riding 2500 miles from California-Kentucky completely bridleless. Visited 20 non-profits.

Avery Allumbaugh

At 6 years old Avery had her first horseback riding lesson, and after that she was hooked. Growing up she rode a wide variety of horses and competed in many different disciplines. 
She discovered liberty horsemanship in 2019 and that ignited a passion that she has been following ever since. There is something indescribable about connecting and communicating with a horse completely at liberty. That passion has led her to join both Modern-Day Horsemanship and Gamilah Unbridled, in hopes to spread that feeling to many more horses and people around the world.
Throughout the years some of her accomplishments include:
•	Participated in 4-H as a youth. With the following accomplishments through 4-H
o	Competed on the 4-H Eastern States Exposition team 2 years in a row. Reserve champion in showmanship, Grand Champion in Equitation 2012. 
o	Excellence in 4-H award 2013
•	Worked for Double Dan Horsemanship for 1.5 years
•	Reserve Champion in the Non-Pro division of the 2020 ILHA Championship Freestyle class
•	Currently participating in the Gamilah Unbridled Recue Horse Project, working with 7 of the toughest rescue horses in the country completely at liberty.
