What is the last good book you’ve read?
“One good book I’ve read recently was ‘The Eighty-Dollar Champion.’ It’s an old book but it about this horse that this man rescues from the slaughterhouse and he turns it into this open jumper champion. It was based on a true story and it had a lot of history woven into it.”
If you could travel anywhere, where would it be and why?
“New Zealand. I’m fascinated by the landscape and the culture. It’s just a place I’ve always wanted to go to.”
What is something nobody knows about you?
“I danced with Woody Harrelson once.”
What do you do in your spare time?
“Ride horses, spend time with my daughter and take care of the animals.”
Do you have a pet?
“Six dogs, one cat, 20 sheep, a bird and three horses.”
What do you like most about your community?
“I like the fact that it’s a heathy balance of country living with close proximity to retail and grocery stores. Access to things you need are pretty convenient, but in short order you can get out and be in the rural countryside.”
