Ellie's greatest passion is western riding. Her Tennessee Walker mare, Sawdust, whose coat is flocked, also enjoys the challenge of working as independently as possible and responding only to Ellie's slightest weight and leg cues. To minimize Sawdust's influence on the reins, Ellie rides with one hand—like a true cowgirl! During their riding training at Waterfall Ranch, the two make several laps around a barrel.
