Clarice Gutman began riding when she was 8 years old.

She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Mount Saint Mary’s College. Immediately after college, she managed a horse barn and began training horses.

Due to changes in life, she left the horse world and began her culinary career with L’Academie de Cuisine (LADC). During her culinary career, Clarice continued to keep horses in her life by riding and taking care of her retired racehorse, Monsignor K.

Clarice began volunteering at Cloverleaf in 2012 where she found her horse Romeo and began training in dressage. She is also a PATH certified therapeutic riding instructor.
