Lifelong horsewoman Laurie Pitts shares the highlights of her career as a professional groom, including working for legendary horseman Rodney Jenkins and Olympic gold medalists Joe Fargis and Conrad Homfeld. For her work, she has traveled to Sweden for the first World Cup Final, and she was set to attend the 1980 Moscow Olympics with Homfeld and Balbuco until the U.S. boycotted the Games. She achieved her Olympic dream a few decades later grooming at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics for Australia’s Matt Williams and Valinski S. She now is a professional braider and gives clinics and lectures on caring for horses.
