about veronica painter
Veronica Painter was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago. Working for several other trainers since the age of 10, she knew she wanted to live the rest of her life with horses. Veronica moved to Florida in 2013 to join a riding troupe specializing in theatrical circus arts after having served an internship at an equestrian dinner theatre and performed on a regional trick riding team. In 2016 Veronica returned to Illinois to start her own business: Horsemanship Unlocked. Currently Veronica resides around the twin cities and travels worldwide for clinics. Starting at an early age, Veronica immersed herself in horses. She has worked on many professional productions including Circus Flora, Circus Sarasota, Silver Dollar City’s Wild West Show, Cirque Ma’Ceo, Order of Epona, Zoppe Family Circus, Dancing Horses, and more. Specializing in trick training, liberty, and circus style trick riding and vaulting, Veronica bridges the gap that can exist between horses and circus arts. Veronica isn’t just a trick rider or athlete; Veronica is a horsewoman. She is passionate about her training and her performances.
