Her father owns a horse farm in Wendell, NC which sparked her passion for horses. For 23 years she has ridden Western as well as bareback.
Ellie Woznica is a freelance book designer and horse trainer because she couldn’t choose which career to pursue and her mom said she wouldn’t make the decision for her. She’s also a host of the Heels Down Happy Hour podcast on the Horse Radio Network. She grew up showing the hunters and jumpers, but in university, she learned to ride western and fell in love with reining.
