Miranda McLean
Miranda McLean grew up in Helena, Montana where the love of horses grew. Having a father that was a ranch foreman helped that love to blossom. Spending the summers in Basin, Wyoming, Miranda was able to learn more with her grandmother. After graduating high school, Miranda went through the Equine Riding and Training program at Northwest College. It was here that Miranda was able to find a desire to ride and show trail, pleasure, and hunter-under-saddle horses. Miranda followed that dream to Colorado where she became active in the show world working For Candy Owens at Owens Quarter Horses starting hunter-under-saddle horses. During that time Miranda began to judge 4-H shows. As time went on Miranda worked for two more trainers that both expanded her knowledge in trail and all things showing.
After a family emergency, Miranda and her family moved back to Wyoming. Since then, she has spent time teaching youth, judging shows at Northwest College, judging fairs in Washakie County and Park County. In more recent years she has found herself judging for the Eastern Montana Show Circuit. Three years ago Miranda went one more step and started a horse show circuit in the Big Horn Basin. Miranda continues to further her knowledge in the horse industry.

"I have a passion for playing and communicating with horses. I also enjoy teaching people to understand them better. The more accurately we interpret what they are trying to express with their body language and behavior, the more fun both species can have!"
