Raina started riding when she was 13.  Her first horse was actually a Welsh pony.  Within a year she graduated to a full sized horse and started riding with the Eh-capa bareback riders.  She then started doing O-mok-see (gaming on horse back).  Macho became her partner in 2008 and they started competing at Trail Challenges all over the northwest.  Having great fun and success, they then joined Rough Riders drill team.  2011 is the 3^rd year and the maneuvers are finally starting to sink in, now if the memory would just cooperate.
