Meet the owner

Since before I can remember I have been "horse crazy".  My parents were nice enough to stop the car every time I spotted a horse in a pasture just so I could stare at it.  After realizing my horse phase wasn't going away they decided it was time to put me in horse riding lessons when I was 4-years-old.  After my first day of horse riding lessons I knew then that I wanted to have horses in my life forever (as does every little horse crazy child).  When I was five all my birthday cake, shooting star, santas list wishes and dreams came true.....I got a pony! I took as many lessons and participated in every horse related activity as I could until I was finally able to be competitive enough to start showing.  I joined 4-H as well as the P.O.A.C. (Pony of the America Club) and competed in Halter, Showmanship, Bareback, Western Equitation, Western Pleasure, English Pleasure, Hunter Under Saddle, Hunter Hack, Hunter Over Fences, Open Jumping, Cross Country,  Reining, Trail, Poles, Barrels, Key Hole, Texas Rollback, and much more!

I got a POA for Christmas when I was 10 years old that was untouched (apparently my parents had lots of faith in my training ability...or didn't want to spend big $ for a trained horse).  I broke that horse and showed her for five years in all events possible.  

When I turned 15 I decided I wanted to get in to high school rodeo, and although my POA was very speedy she could keep up with those bigger competitive horses.  I sold my POA and bought a Quarter Horse named Boston.  Boston had no experience being hauled to rodeos and didn't know the barrel and pole patterns to well.  After 6 month of hauling to every rodeo I could enter, and coming in last or close to it, we finally started to speed up.  Boston and I made a great team (after many hours of arguing and lot of lessons with professional barrel racers) and ended up making it to State and Nationals both years in a row of competing.  At state in 2012 she ran in 3 round with a winning time in every round, 20.4, 20.2, 20.0.  Each time winning by just enough that we won the Utah Pole Bending Title along with a saddle, money and many many buckles.

Thanks to our great high school rodeo career I got a scholarship for college where I attended Colorado Northwestern Community College.  I was able to travel with the rodeo team around the western states and compete.  I studied business management because I knew teaching lessons and running an equine business was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.  

After college I sold Boston so she could continue doing what she loved (pole bending) and bought 3 new young horses in train.  One of those was fast enough to be competitive in the Women's Pro Rodeo Association! So we began to travel and compete and started picking up checks in the PRCA.  I have now been competing in the Pro Rodeos for 2 years and enjoying every minute of it!
