I have been riding horses for as long as I can remember. My favorite thing to do is ride my horse, whether it's in the round pen, on a trail, or at a local riding club!
I enjoy gardening and spending time outdoors with my two children and our animals.
I am a reader and will pick up a book in my free time whenever I get the chance!
