I received an email from Aletha which had a story about her jumping over a rattlesnake. She said she wasn’t sure if she could jump over it, but: “When we NEED to fly, we can!”. She invited me to her Ranch to do jumping photos, so my friend Kaila who I’ve been mentoring came along for the road trip. Aletha was welcoming, kind and we did lots of fun jumps together.
