Now shes back as a rodeo dynasty matriarch with a heart of gold on Hallmarks new seriesRide.

When the horse moves quickly Im terrified, but Im getting there.

Im very flattered by comparisons toYellowstone.

Its a great show.

I would say that our show is about a family wrestling and struggling with diverse elements.

We are fighting to protect each other and support each other.

Theres a lot of emotion, a lot of heart and less darkness [thanYellowstone] I guess.

I am a big walker.

I have a very demanding dog, so Im constantly walking her.

I also work out twice a week with a trainer who helps me do resistance work with weights.

Her name is Josie, and shes our COVID rescue dog.

I love animals, and Ive always had dogs.

The last two we had got old and passed away.

We were going to take a break, and COVID happened.

My son was a senior in high school at the time.

He begged me to get another dog.

… Shes a 40-pound shepherd-terrier mix.

I think shes gorgeous.
