Candace is excited to be leading OHWDA this year as it's President. She is a life-long horsewoman and loves the opportunities to compete that WDAA offers her as a Physically Challenged Rider.

You will see her in the dressage ring riding her horses, SAS Love Commander, a 1/2 Arabian 1/2 AQHA gelding, Clyde, a Clydesdale gelding and Koweta Trucson S, an Arabian gelding.
