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 Confessions of a Saddle Tramp blog, 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.
