A retired educator and manager of Cedar Grove Quarter Horses, Amanda has been part of the PHBA since the 1970s and was the first Mississippi youth to hold a national office. Her first western show horse was a Palomino, and she still breeds and exhibits horses descended from that first mare, earning her the nickname “the Palomino girl” at local AQHA shows. With her family involved in breeding and showing Palominos for decades, she contributes her experience and long history to the Foundation’s ongoing work.
