| Introduction | I grew up with horses and learned to ride early. My first horse was Casey, a grade gelding that we owned from the time he was 2 years old until he died in his late 20’s. Since I was 13, I’ve shown in Quarter Horse shows in events from Hunter Under Saddle and Hunter Hack, to Western Riding, Reining and all the speed events. I also competed in Youth and High School Rodeo. While at Texas A&M University, I discovered research. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to focus on reproduction or exercise physiology. Then I decided that nutrition affected both, so that’s where I focused. My research included studying the effects of fat-added diets in both broodmares and weanlings. After working with the Texas Agricultural Extension service, I joined Land O’Lakes Purina Feed. Horses are all my family does. My husband trains cutting horses, both children show in cutting and compete in rodeo events, I help my daughter with her barrel horses and help my husband at shows. |
