Kenda's bio:

Kenda has spent her life on the back of a horse. She started competing at the ripe old age of four and continued all throughout her childhood in both Western and English disciplines. After an apprenticeship in Texas with some of the country’s top cutting horse trainers, she was introduced to the sport of mounted shooting in California, where she qualified for the World Championship after only her 4th competition.

Since those early days, she’s developed a reputation as an accomplished trainer of both horses and people, won just about everything there is to win in the competitive arena and cultivated a thriving business dedicated to introducing others to her sport. Her career includes not only training and instruction but product development, working with renowned companies such as Circle Y Saddles, Professional’s Choice, Uberti Firearms and Safariland to create products for the sport. She is also a published author, and wrote a how-to training book, along with numerous articles for multiple industry related publications.

Her proudest accomplishment remains winning the title of Overall World Champion, becoming the first woman to best her male competitors. She did this riding Justin, a former trail horse that she nurtured from scratch, building him into a phenomenal equine athlete. Since then, Kenda won the Overall World title three more times on both Justin and her mare Sparky. She has also taken the Overall National Champion title six times on both horses combined.

Kenda’s business is based in Arizona, which allows her to offer training year-round.
