aige started with horses at a very young age, following in her mother’s footsteps by riding hunter jumpers. Her first job was at a tack store when she was about 14 years old. While she loved riding, Paige realized she enjoyed working “behind the scenes” even more, helping to set up barns with accessories, equipment, and tack. Although that little tack shop has since closed, Equitex became the perfect opportunity for her to continue doing barn setups.
She now lives in Kentucky with her husband, their four horses, and two cats.
