She spent the next 21 years serving in Texas, Germany, Arizona, Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, and Alabama along with deployments in many locations. All the while she rode when she had access to horses and eventually purchased her own horse in 1998, Kalinka, a Holsteiner mare. Kalinka was shown in Germany and around the US in primarily jumper and dressage. After retiring in 2013, she and her husband purchased a 20 acre property which has become Lead Off Farm, LLC.
