Owner Bio

Born in Aurura, Illinois.  Attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison with degrees in Agronomy and Landscape Architecture.  My husband and I farm about 600 acres in Wisconsin and I design parks and do photography.  I'm involved in farmland preservation and strongly support Thoroughbred rescue and retirement programs.  I try to be as involved as possible with my race horses and it has been a huge learning curve.  As my trainer says, you learn something new about race horses every single day!  I love spending time in the barn during training hours.  The actual race is the most stressful part of ownership for me.
