Thunderbird Equine - Excellence in Horsemanship
This story is about a girl who has always loved horses like so many of us :), so much so that training and raising horses has become her entire life and career.

What started as working on her family’s ranch in Stoneham, CO has grown into a legacy of horsemanship and excellence. I was able to spend an afternoon with Jessica as much as we could handle with the heat!

She showed me the place where she grew up, the place where dairy turned from something that her family did into something she wants to be involved with for the rest
