sceptical, having little understanding of the breed standards or the discipline itself. However, an invitation from Ryan to help at one of his shows soon changed everything.
That first experience opened the door to a whole new appreciation for the American Quarter Horse and, just as importantly, the people within the industry.
It didn ' t take long for her to fall in love with the breed ' s strength, proud demeanour and exceptional work ethic. What began as simply helping a friend soon developed into a genuine passion and a desire to become more involved.
With an extremely busy life outside the horse industry, balancing work and horses can sometimes be challenging.
However, she firmly believes horses have always been her therapy, providing an outlet and a sense of enjoyment that is difficult to put into words.
Her love of working with young horses made Halter a natural fit, allowing her to pursue her passion while developing her knowledge and experience. More recently, she has also welcomed her first Quarter Horse youngster under saddle, with plans to start bringing her out to events. Living in a beautiful part of the country, she particularly enjoys getting out on the trail and spending time in the saddle with a view.
For her, having different ways to enjoy horses is an important part of keeping the passion alive.
