I ride and write.

 

I am not a cowboy. I don’t profess to be.  I am somewhere between horse girl and wanderer - between a rusty nail and stainless steel. I am real. Born of the water yet drawn to the desert. I am resilient. A creative thinker with a kick of adventure. An equestrian explorer.

My hope is to inspire others to have the confidence to believe in themselves and connect through nature.  

In addition to my blog, Confessions of a Saddle Tramp, I freelance and have been published in several online and offline magazines, such as Texas Parks and Wildlife, Horse Trails of America, and The Cenizo Journal.
