Horses have been an integral part of Rachel's life. Her passion is to share the joys of God's beautiful creation, the horse, with others.
        Rachel obtained her Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Business, Farm and Ranch Management from the University of Tennessee at Martin. During her collegiate years, she competed on UT Martin's NCAA Equestrian Team, in Horsemanship and Reining.
       During her youth years, she worked under AQHA Professional Doug Rath Performance Horses, Bayhill Farm Equestrian Team, and YEDA (Youth Equestrian Development Association). She also competed in English and Western All-Around Events in AQHA, 4-H, and competitive Open Breed Shows such as AAYHS.
        Rachel is passionate about the lifelong skills that riding and showing horses develops in youth, including confidence, determination, a strong work ethic, toughness, sportsmanship, and character. Steadfast Equestrian serves as a place of joy, personal development, and mentorship through the enjoyment and challenges that showing horses provides.
