Hi, my name is Gretchen Koenen. At the young age of two, my mom took me out to a trail ride boarding facility, and to this day she tells the story of how I would throw a fit when we would leave the barn. My mom knew that my love for horses had just begun. Once I was three, my mom plopped me on a dead-broke Shetland pony named Buster.
