Have you ever heard an idea and thought, “Oh yeah…why didn’t I think of that?” When Martje Plaggemeyer told me about “flipping horses” my reaction was “of course!” I know about flipping cars, flipping houses and even flipping farms, but I have never considered flipping horses. When Martje explained it made perfect sense.
Martje is from Montana, is a rodeo competitor and a horse aficionado. What else is needed? What a great life she is on her way to. She is currently studying at Miles City Junior College in Eastern Montana where she competes on the rodeo team.
Martje is off to a great start, and now we just need to get her to the ocean!
