My name is Rachel, I am 19 years old, and I live on my families ranch in Southern Missouri. My parents just recently got involved in ranching, so I did not grow up around it, but I fell in love with rodeo at a very young age. I would practically beg my mom to take me to playdates and 4H shows. Eventually I worked my way up to high school rodeo where I ran barrels, breakaway roped, goat tied, and showed reined cow horse. I am currently on a college rodeo team and in my first year of getting my business degree. My passion for rodeo very quickly evolved to reined cow and I learned to submerge myself into every possible opportunity I got in the industry. I was fortunate enough to have a few trainers take me under their wing and from there I went on to work for several trainers on the west coast from roping to reining and reined cow. I am completely astonished at the things we are able to accomplish with horses and the way we can mold their minds. My passion for training is something I one day plan to turn into a career. I am a true believer of love the animal first, the sport second. I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to present a horse at such a prestigious sale, especially at such a young age, and I am very excited to see what my mare can accomplish.
