Beyond the Office…
Ruth trades financial statements for saddles and spreadsheets for show rings. Her main hobby is showing horses alongside her daughter, Kodee, a senior at Texas A&M. Together, they’ve turned weekends into adventures filled with polished boots, gleaming horses, and the thrill of competition. For Ruth, it’s more than a pastime. It’s a blend of discipline, teamwork, and joy that mirrors the same drive she brings to her professional life
