My name is Sadie Cook-Ricks from Elko, NV.  I spend my days in the desert training horses and giving riding lessons.  I specialize in barrel and rope horses, but also give lessons to a great group of dressage riders that call themselves Sadie's Ladies.  I also give roping, barrel racing and goat tying lessons to several High School girls.  When the snow flies in Elko, my husband Mike and I start looking forward to heading south to Wickenburg, AZ where I spend several of the winter months riding colts and barrel racing while Mike team ropes.  Salina is one of my favorite races and I am excited to have qualified for the Xtreme 15 again this year. Good Luck to all of the runners.
