Hi! My name is Alexis and I am the Barn Manager at Torreon Equestrian Center. My love for horses started at a young age; my parents had a 40 horse show training barn with Arabian horses, and I spent nearly every day on the back of a horse. (It was my mom who inspired my true love for horses and animals in general.

I got my very first pony when I was three years old, her name was Suzie, and she taught me everything I needed to know about how to love and care for horses (and how not to fall off!) I competed for many years on the Arabian show circuit and one of my greatest dreams was to win National Champion. At the age of 18, that dream came true; my horse Primo and I won champion in the Half Arabian Hunter Pleasure division, and that is a day I will never forget. 

I spent the last 5 years working in the Corporate world, but realized that atmosphere is not what I love doing. I’m a cowgirl at heart and decided that moving to Show Low would allow me to live my life doing what I love – being outdoors around animals and nature. I also have a black Labrador named Brody, who is my best bud and loves the outdoors, especially anything to do with water! I am very excited to be at TEC and look forward to caring for your beautiful horses and creating memories together!
