About Ashley

I was that horse obsessed kid and born to two non-horse parents. I lived, breathed, and dreamed about horses. When I was seven years old, I finally convinced my parents for riding lessons. Oh, if they only knew what they were getting themselves into. I started once a week lessons and I would count down the days till the next session.

After five years of english riding lessons, we moved from Florida to Southwest Missouri. They decided if I didn’t complain too much about the move, they would go ahead and buy my first horse. Trigger – he was the most beautiful horse I had ever seen. He was something I had prayed for, and I still remember my dad asking me if I wanted him. Of course I did! Living in the Ozarks I didn’t have access to English riding like I did in Florida. I started western lessons and developed my love for barrel racing. Trigger was not a trained barrel horse. We did our best. After lots of tears, frustration and hard work, he earned my first belt buckle. Now Trigger is 24 years old, healthy and teaching my son how to ride.

In my early twenties I went to nursing school and was married to my high school sweetheart. We had a young child and owned a farm with a couple of acres. With this came a couple more horses. I started showing all around in halter, western pleasure, hunter under saddle, etc. before going full circle and back into barrel racing.

One of my lifelong goals was always to own a breeding farm. In 2015 we purchased a 90-acre farm which would be home to The Bar Hi Ranch. In 2017 came Merry For Corona. He was the epitome of what I envisioned in a stallion. Over the years I had carefully hand-picked mares that would be the future of my breeding program.
