When not at Uinta, Bridget spends time at home with her sons and daughter, prioritizing connection and adventure. She loves her furry family friends, outside of her horses, often bringing her labs and bunnies to join in on therapy. Her hobbies include riding horses, running, hiking, gardening, and homemaking. Alaska, Hawaii, the Wind Rivers, Palisade Lakes, and Mount Rainier are among the most beautiful places she has explored. Bridget has a horse of her own, and "Have a stable relationship" is one of her favorite mottos.
