What is your Horses Name, Age, Breed?:
Mickey is a 16 year old Quarter Horse Morgan. I named him Mickey Mouse when I got him.. I was nine. He is my best friend and my partner in crime and I would be lost without him.
How many years have you been riding?:
I have been riding since I was about 4. I started really getting into riding when I was nine and bought Mickey.
How many years have you been with the Cariboo Cowgirls?:
I started riding with the team when I was 11. I rode for a year and then moved away. I came back in 2011 and rode with them again. 2012 will be my third year.
What other equine activities do you do outside of the Cariboo Cowgirls?:
I love everything horse. Gymkhanas, barrel racing, trail riding, and show jumping are my main activities. Soon I hope to start sorting, pony express racing, and maybe even a little dressage.
What do you like best about being in a drill team?:
My favourite thing about riding on the team is the rodeos. There's nothing like flying into an arena and hearing the crowd go wild. You just hang on tight and hope nothing goes wrong. And if it does, you know you have great friends there to pick you up out of the dirt, dust you off, and throw you back on.
