Favorite Stars Horse(s) & Why: Copper because he is a beautiful red roan and he has the personality of a renowned professor who studies giraffes. I also love Lucy and Daisy because they are strong independent mares but once they trust you, you're a part of their herd forever.

Favorite Stars Horse(s) & Why: Brandy - she is such a steady and kind horse! Though Copper and Mickey are quickly becoming my favorites - I have a soft spot for paints and appaloosas.
Favorite Horse Quote: “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” Winston Churchill
What brought you to Stars: I rode and owned horses from ages 8 to 24, and after a long break I was ready to work with them again. STARS provided a great way to not only spend time with horses but also to help others experience the transformative power of horses that I was lucky enough to experience as a kid.
