Oldest daughter Linda, a retired College Dance teacher, has returned to the homestead to run the finances, manages the web site and keeps an eye on the past, present and future of the BAR O QUARTER HORSE program. Linda is not afraid of hard work and proves it daily. She loves to ride and of course tend to the grandchildren when she can. We couldn’t have asked for a better Owner to be a part of our team.
