I was in
4-H from the time I was 13 years old, until I turned 18. I chose Horsemanship for my 4-H
project and showed in the 4-H county horseshows. I was one of five members in my county
4-H Club, that was chosen to go to Washington D.C. due to being one of the top five
members of our county 4-H club and the state of Missouri 4-H clubs. I did not go due to
other commitments.
I later joined the ApHC and have been an member of it for 22 years and showed on the
registered Appaloosa show circuit for 12 years. I started as a Non-Pro, later dropped the
Non-Pro status, and turned to Professional status, I worked with youth and Non-Pros. Also
trained horses, not just Appaloosas, but all western breeds, QH, Paints, etc. I showed my
weanlings in Futurities and was also and 4-H Horsemanship leader. I quit showing all
together and concentrated on my Appaloosa breeding program. Horses were my life. I still
keep my ApHC membership.
