I began tying cinches in 2006 when I needed a camp hobby.  My husband and I lived in Cow Camps 9 months of the year without electricity and some didn't even have running water.  After doing our riding in the morning and starting our colts in the afternoon, I read every book we owned.  Twice.  I was bored and there really isn't much you can do in a remote Cow Camp, especially without silly things like electricity!  A friend gave me a crude cinch board and a 2 hour crash course on cinch tying and I was off and running.
Now, we have two little boys that keep us on our toes.  I work for the ranch where my husband is employed, blog, write for a couple of local publications, and teach Animal Science at Great Basin College.
We don't have a camp job anymore, but I am still tying cinches.  To date I have been featured in the Western Horseman magazine, and teach workshops on tying cinches.  I estimate that I have tied close to 500 cinches this far.
