Goodbye Felicia
Never Give Up Competition Memory
- In 2022 I had neck surgery. It was more challenging than physically and mentally to overcome, get back on a horse and not fear the risks. Going to the BBR Finals and making the Finals 13 weeks post-surgery is my NGU!

AHAH Moment In Your Life
- I’m not sure there is one defining Ah-hah moment in my life, except to say that I live by my Faith in Jesus. That doesn’t mean that things are always good or always turnout the way I want them to. However, it does mean that I trust that God knows and sees the bigger picture for me and I trust his plan and circumstances.
Favorite Drill to Keep Your Horse in Shape
- Circles, Circles, Circles. Big to small to big to small. I don’t necessarily do the barrel pattern but expect a horse to hold their frame in any size circle I ask them to.
