Kathy Edinger

Suffering from empty nest syndrome, Kathy has enrolled as a full time student to persue her dream of attending Law school. All while still working her full time job! Her primary companion, CHICO, AKA the best horse in the world, will surely be going on long, mind-relaxing trail rides every chance she gets. Her horse intrest is in fox hunting and horsemanship. Making sure all of the horses are taken care of, wether they are hers or not, is Kathy's concern, making this organization a good fit for her.
