Get to know The
Farmer’s Wife
I am often asked what is life like off the
farm? So, I have created this personal page to share with you a bit
more about myself.
Life before The Farmer started when I was
born as a “Rogers” I have the privilege of the late Will Rogers as my
great-grandfather. Because of my interest in his legacy I along with
dear friend Trudi Sandmeier (Trudi’s grandfather Emil was Will’s
personal assistant) have started the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation where
I currently act as chairperson. You may visit
WillRogersRanchFoundation.org
to learn more.
As you view my personal photos you may
notice many rodeo acquaintances. Not only was I born a “Rogers” but my
grandfather (on my mother’s side) was World Champion Bull rider and
Bareback rider Frank Schneider. My grandfather took these honors in
the mid 1930’s. Frank Schneider along with two of my great uncles
Johnie Schneider and Burel Mulkey are inducted into the National Cowboy
Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. We travel to Las Vegas each year to
attend the National Finals Rodeo and are proud rodeo fans! I come from
a long line of Ranching and Farming. This helps explain my love for
horses and why I have again been invited to ride in the 2009 Rose
Parade.
My true escape from a busy life is the
beach. I have a love for Santa Barbara and try to visit there as often
as I can. I enjoy cooking and riding my own horse when time permits.
We are a family of pets and our dog Bandie has a special place on the
foot of our bed. The Farmer has brought everything home for us to mend
from a turtle to a crow and just about everything in between.
In January 2009 The Farmer and I will
celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Together we have two
teenage children. A son very active in football and dirt bikes, and a
daughter whose passion is showing jumping horses. I hope you enjoy
visiting my personal page and getting to know more about me, The
Farmer’s Wife.
