horseback riding, kayaking, and gardening

HORSEBACK RIDING: I have been riding horses since the age of eight and have owned and provided care and training to quarter horses, mammoth jack donkeys, as well as thoroughbreds involved in the game of polo.

KAYAKING: My husband and I have a beautiful river home that sits on a riverbend of the Meramec river with our own dock that allows me total access to kayaking, and paddle boarding with my amazing blue heeler dog.

GARDENING: I enjoy sustainable living along the river where we have lived for the past six years and have developed a love of gardening our own vegetables and herbs and have committed myself to preserving the native species of missouri plants.
