Keeping Stories Alive
Sabrina Kramer has found healing through her ability to create vivid imagery out of air and tell stories without using words. A barrel racer, a soldier in the U.S. Army, a wife, mother, and friend to many, she is the main artist and owner of Wild Cactus Tack.
Kramer grew up unable to speak at the age of 5, an orphan to the drug epidemic, and labeled by doctors as a lost cause.
If you’re involved with western riding or rodeo groups on Facebook, you’ve likely seen the name, Lori Busch. The ultimate connector, cowgirl Lori Busch has taken her love of horses and people and combined the two to help folks engage their passions.
The Savage Cowgirl is a brand of vibrant energy and soulful spirit, looking to promote the explosive sport of breakaway roping and provide a path for those new to the sport while also giving veteran ropers the resources they need to thrive.
Elora Swann is one of those individuals whose quietness speaks loudly. It tells of dedication, compassion, and hard work, all of which make up her lifestyle looking after animals and pursuing her goals as a barrel racer.
By day, Swann manages a pet resort in Wake Forest, North Carolina known as the Cobble Hill Bed and Biscuit. She keeps things running smoothly by handling everything from grooming to payroll and has helped make a menagerie of animals from birds to potbelly pigs feel welcome. When not offering hospitality to local critters at the resort, she is either taking care of her own horses and foster animals or hanging out with her husband
I learned about Katie through seeing her kind offer to help a mutual friend getting started in the world of breakaway roping. I was later able to chat with her some, and discovered the many talents and passions of this Colorado cowgirl.
The ranch and the lifestyle have trickled down through the generations in the Jolly family, but Katie has made another name for herself while competing in barrel racing, team roping, and breakaway roping competitions. In addition to competing, she trains horses and manages her own herd of cattle.
