Amy was raised as the fifth generation on a cattle ranch in northern California and has loved the outdoors all of her life. She is a lifelong equestrian who started riding at the age of 3 and never outgrew her love of horses. She rides every chance she gets and currently has a Quarter Horse and a Haflinger.
