Horses have been in my life since I was 6 weeks old. My sister put me in the saddle with her and rode me around the rodeo arena. My family has always had horses around them, but I did not officially get into riding horses until I was a teenager with 4-H, playdays, parades, and the Liberty County Sheriffs Posse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, I do lots of trail riding with my two buckskin quarter horses. Fancy is 17 and has been there done that. Fancy is the horse I have mainly ridden for 8 years now. Before that, my uncle rode her mostly for hog hunting in the river bottom near Liberty, TX. Bucky (Fancy’s son) is 13 and I just started training him a year and a half ago. Bucky was an unexpected surprise for my uncle… Fancy went to the trainer and came back with a bonus pregnancy and my uncle did not know she was pregnant until the day she delivered Bucky. (He thought she was just getting fat)

I had never seen Parelli, but I started investigating him when I won tickets to see him in Belton this past October. It was the most amazing experience and I fell in love with his techniques. So, I joined the Savvy club and have started working and playing with Bucky and would like to complete level 1 with him in a few months.
