BIO
Born in the small town of Littlerock, California, horses have always played a huge role in my life. I have had the strongest love and passion for them since before I could even walk. Watching my mom compete my whole life in the California Gymkhana Association running for Hall of Fame, made me want to give it a try. This is when I developed my love for barrel racing. There’s just something about the excitement and thrill when running barrels that makes you full of joy and realize how blessed we are to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing animal as your team mate. I have been seriously competing since 2014. I was blessed with my amazing horse Miss Tiger Jac (Tiny) after the sudden loss of my beloved horse Story. Tiny is a 2009 registered American Quarter horse. She is the first horse that I have ever trained myself. With the help and advice of my amazing mom and trainer Karlie Boles. This year is our first year competing and we are already cruising in the 3D at barrel races and running AAA times in CGA. I look forward to continue progressing with her an seeing what we can accomplish together.
I look up to my amazing trainer Karlie for everything she has done and taught me. As well as my mom, for sharing her knowledge, love and encouragement. They have shown me how there are so many great people in the horse industry. And that we are all one big family. As I compete, I hope to share my love and passion for horses with others and set a good example as a Lakota Young Professional.
