Best stock show memory:
My best memories of showing are taking long road trips with my dad. Those mementoes are so important because I lost my dad last year.
Tell us about your recent champion:
My recent champion’s name started out as Viper until she lost one of her horns and we renamed her Unicorn. She has a wide skeleton and a wide rack. She Carrie’s the width of her each throughout her whole top. She balances on the profile well while still having plenty of mass.
