Ruth Alma Bruce-Boehler - professional whipper-in

Ruth grew up riding and traveling to shows in Illinois and beyond. During the summer after high school, Ruth began an extensive working student program for an upper-level event rider in the heart of horse country Chester County Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia,  while also attending college at Lake Erie, in Painesville, Ohio where she earned her two Bachelors of Science degrees in Equine Facility Management and Teaching and Training.  While in college she founded an intercollegiate eventing team, rode horses in the Camargue southern France, organized and hosted numerous horse shows at the college, and went to Nationals for dressage in 2003 and 2004. After graduation in 2004, Ruth took a job in the South Pacific helping run a commercial horse facility in the islands of Vanuatu for just under 2 years.  

When Ruth returned to the States, she got involved with the local hunt club helping with the horses for Tony Leahy and other masters of then Cornwall Hounds, now Massbach Hounds of Elizabeth, Illinois.  She spent 13 years associated with that hunt club and was involved in all aspects of the organization.  She also produced numerous successful eventing and fox-hunting horses along the way.  She was eventually named an honorary whipper-in for Massbach Hounds/Fox River Valley Hunt and traveled with the hunt to Georgia for a few seasons.  Prior to her position with the Mooreland Hunt, she served as professional kennel huntsman for a season with the Massbach Hounds.
