Alise grew up in Minnesota and has been obsessed with horses since she can remember. She never had the opportunity to have a horse growing up so she would try and find horses to ride or be around whenever she got the chance. In college Alise really got the opportunity to ride and train horses. She rode reining, cow horses, rope horses, and she started colts, and that became her goal, to train well rounded versatile horses. She loves getting a horse soft and supple in the arena, and believes that a good foundation is key. This was where she discovered her passion with matching the right horse to its owner. Seeing the joy it brought both horse and owner she decided to make that her life work.
Today, Alise loves roping, taking her horses up the mountain, using them for hunting, pack trips, and trail rides. She believes that's what really makes a horse. She also loves branding in the springtime and summers are filled with rodeos and ranch work.
