Grace’s favorite season is branding season and you will most often find her in the saddle roping calves at a branding, training a colt or practicing for an upcoming cutting or cow horse event. If she’s not in the saddle, she’s in the saddle shop with her dad doing saddle repair work and learning the art of saddlery.
Grace will be a senior this fall and is also attending AG classes at Sheridan College. After graduation, Grace has plans to develop and grow her own business breeding and training high quality performance horses. Grace is a member of the Wyoming High School Rodeo Association where she enjoys competing in the event of Cutting.
