Tray Pelster grew up deeply involved in the world of horses and ranching, particularly influenced by her father, who was a reputable horse trainer, and her grandfather who raised Appaloosas and competed at a national level in various disciplines like rain cow horse and cutting. Tray began her training under challenging conditions often working with horses that weren't particularly kid-friendly. Over the years, she has involved herself in various disciplines including English riding, roping, and cutting. She has had a passion for training horses and learning various aspects of horsemanship, specifically valuing starting horses from a young age with a focus on groundwork for long-term success.

Tray and her husband have moved multiple times across different ranches, gaining diverse experiences in cattle ranching. They currently operate on a ranch in Folsom, New Mexico, where they run about 500 Red Angus cattle and manage challenging terrains. Trey shares insights into the daily operations and the beautifully rugged landscape they work in.
