She attended horse shows in California and Tennessee, she was the first TWH group to ride in the Rose Parade every year and she was a judge for the FOSH Organization and traveled to horse shows and clinics all over the United States.  Many people today that are successful horse trainers were her one time students that she taught to ride. She loved horses and worked hard for her success.
