: About Me

An avid horsewoman, I make my living giving horseback riding lessons, marketing horses on commissions, and breeding Missouri Fox Trotting horses and Paints. I love to crochet, quilt, write and trail ride in my spare time.

I have four children, lost one earlier this year, and am working on twins. My husband and I love children and enjoy spending time with our family.
