Interests:
My favorite "hobbie" is trail riding and I do a lot of bass fishing and archery. I love to do art work, especially painting. I have a large family (7 kids, lots of grand children and 7 great grand children) and some of them love to ride with me. My most constant trail buddy is my grand daughter Arin Murphy. I am retired from working now. I was an optician and a school bus driver.

I am an animal lover and have a sweet yellow labrador named Maggie and 4 cats. I enjoy gymkhana but rarely do that since my horses are up there in age. I like trail trials and enjoyed competing in the Horsemastership Program. I am happy CSHA has the TRAP program for those of us who would rather trail ride than do anything else.
