Summary
I have had the privilege to work for multiple places and learn a very wide variety of skills. My husband and I also train some rope horses and really enjoy the role horses play in ranching and also the role ranching plays in creating nice performance horses. We had a son in May of 2024 and I’m sure as you know your life really changes after that. I still love to help where I can and we have always taken him everywhere so he is very used to the lifestyle. I also really enjoy helping with and doing bookwork, I got to do a decent amount of it when we worked for Kite Cattle.
