For some, a love of horses begins in childhood, while for others, it is a passion that evolves and takes an unexpected direction along the way. For one dedicated horsewoman, a lifelong connection with horses eventually led her into the world of Quarter Horses, where friendship, opportunity and a very special filly would create a journey to remember.
Horses have been part of her life for as long as she can remember, with her passion inherited from her mother, who spent countless years travelling across the countryside with her. Although horses were always a constant, her early riding career was predominantly focused on Eventing and Showjumping throughout her teenage years and into her twenties.
Her introduction to the Quarter Horse industry came through a friendship with Ryan Robinson, whom she met through work. The pair quickly developed a strong friendship, and with her Thoroughbreds agisted at Ryan ' s property, she gradually became more familiar with the breed.
