Ø      Personal
Son, Riley … Enjoys training barrel horses … Taught school and was a librarian from 1991-94 before quitting and barrel racing full time … Parents and sister, Jackie Dube, train race horses and that is how they got the horse she rides now. A few years ago her dad was driving down the road with Roundpen in the trailer but he forgot to shut the trailer gate and the horse fell out. All was fine and he has become a great horse.
