Laura Schonberg

Thankful to call the Pacific Northwest home, Laura Schonberg is an educator in a local school district and is outside at her place when she isn't inside at work.  Summers are spent cow-girling at a friend's ranch, with forrays into the Cascade Mountains as time and weather permit year-round.  Winter finds her at a local barn doing dressage lessons to support her ranch riding, and re-starting horses through the county's equine rescue program.
