I began my own horseback riding journey by riding ponies at fairs (don't we all?) and caught the bug. Ever since I can remember, horses have been my life; I live and breathe horses. My childhood dreams became a reality when my parents agreed to let me get Buckshot, an unbroke 5-year-old Quarter Horse, when I was only 14 years old.

For the past 10+ years we've barrel raced, pole bent, rodeod (even went after a Queen title!), jousted and so much more. He's happily retired from racing, but still loves getting out for conditioning rides every now and again.
