Hi Campers! My name is Claire – I am a faithful, persevering, animal loving person. I live on an acreage with my husband, 6-year-old daughter, and 7 animals (including two guinea pigs!)  Although this will only be my second year working at Rodeo Bible Camp I also worked as a wrangler at a local day camp in Sioux Falls. That is where I discovered my passion for working with campers and horses! I love seeing people of all ages grow in their relationship with God and a 1,000-pound animal.  One of my favorite bible verses is - Be strong and courageous! Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord, your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go. Joshua 1:9. I LOVE this! This verse has gotten me through a lot of hard times. But remembering that God is always there is what always gets me through. 

I’ve had a passion for horses for as long as I can remember when I first started, I began learning horsemanship and western pleasure. In later years I started jumping and now (my absolute fave) I train and show in dressage – it’s like dancing with your horse!

I can’t wait to meet you all soon!
