Kaylissa Wells-Smith

I’m from Lewiston, Utah, where I currently reside, and my family runs around 100 head of cattle. I grew up riding and showing horses, helping out on the ranch and participating in many 4-H and FFA activities as well as reined cow horse competitions. When I first started horse 4-H, my dad gave me a gorgeous pair of braided leather reins to show with. I remember thinking they were the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen! As I grew, I gained an appreciation for braiding leather and started braiding myself about two years ago. I absolutely love braiding, and I have high hopes for the future.
