Carla, born a Texan, transplanted to California, continues to love the Western way of life, no matter where she hangs her hat. Her grandfather sparked her love for ranching and riding horseback early on. She owned her first pony before the age of five, and soon after, fell in love with Roy Rogers, Dale Evans and Gabby Hayes on the silver screen.

Over the years, her college education has confirmed her love for learning; horsemanship, colt training, animal science, civil engineering, architecture and photography.

She has worked as an engineering tech, taught horsemanship, and has had opportunities to ride in many places. Her love for the Western way of life is preserved in her photography and writings about cowboys, cowgirls, cow-dogs, cow-horses, the beautiful countryside and historic locations of the American West.

These days she keeps these passions alive traveling with her canine companion, Rider (an exuberantly happy, ball-retrieving, Australian Cattle Dog), in a Chevrolet pickup towing a 5th wheel trailer. For extended stays, they reside in places near her family in Northern California and Western Nevada.
