Sharon Gates

Sharon Gates was born in Lucky Lake, Saskatchewan in 1944. Her mother was a school teacher/rancher; her father was a calf roper/rancher. Sharon has lived with horses all her life and turned to the horse business in the seventies to provide a living for herself and her three children. Wildwood Reining Horses is that business. Along the way, she wrote and published several horse training articles, poems, and anecdotal pieces. In 2010, she published her first book, A Life With Horses.

Sharon bred, raised, trained and sold quality Quarter Horses for many years - in Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Alberta, where she now resides. She continues to ride reining horses and trail ride and to write as time allows. Since A Life With Horses she has published two reining handbooks, Spin Fixes and Stop Fixes, both in Kindle ebook format as well as paperback.
