HANNAH ALEXANDER

Hi, I’m Hannah Alexander! I’ve been riding horses since I was around 7 years old and have been involved in the rodeo and western industry for most of my life. Over the years, I’ve competed in events including barrel racing, breakaway roping, pole bending, goat tying, and more.

Throughout high school, I was a member of the Spanish Springs Rodeo Team, where I also served as the team secretary during my senior year. I am currently continuing my rodeo career as a member of the University of Nevada, Reno Rodeo Team.

My passion for horses goes beyond competition, I love helping riders build confidence, improve their horsemanship, and develop strong foundations both in and out of the saddle. I strive to create a positive, encouraging environment where riders feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
