Ronda's Biography



Baby Ronda	Ronda was born September 16th, 1965 at 8:20 a.m. at Paradise Valley Hospital, San Diego, California. She was born at the same hospital and delivered by the very same Doctor as her mother. Born almost 2 months premature she began life with vigor and never stopped. When I finally was able to take her home from the hospital it was obvious she was a happy, content baby and from the beginning slept through most of the nights. She knew when I entered the room and always had a smile for me. She was a happy child too. Kind, self-confident, always smiling, eyes always sparking. Always so full of love.

She loved dogs from the first time our Collie walked up to her crib. Her eyes lit up, she giggled and reach for a handful of hair. Never afraid – always wanting to touch and love any dog, cat, kitten, puppy. Her love for animals was there from the beginning and only grew stronger as she grew older. She could ride a horse almost before she could walk. Ronda rode and showed horses from a very early age when her feet couldn't reach stirrups and it was all she could do to hold on. She was barrel racing, pole pending and doing numerous speed events by the time she was five and progressed into halter, western pleasure and her love, Hunter Under Saddle and Working Hunter. In 1983 she qualified her Quarter Horse Gelding, Clabber Toe for the AQHA World and the AQHA Youth World and took him in 1984 to compete in the AQHA Youth World in Hunter Hack and Working Hunter placing 12th out of nearly 200 entries in Working Hunter and 14th out of as many in Hunter Hack.
