Ellie's greatest passion is western riding. Her Tennessee Walker mare Sawdust, whose coat is flocked, also loves the challenge of working as independently as possible and reacting only to the slightest weight and thigh aids from Ellie. In order to influence Sawdust less via the reins, Ellie rides one-handed - like a real cowgirl! During horseback riding training at Waterfall Ranch, the two make several laps around a barrel. Fun Fact: Ellie's family has lived in Waterfall the longest, which means she knows the ranch area like the back of her hand.
