It was a lifelong dream of a girl living in the hustle and bustle of Chicago to
live the cowgirl life that inspired Barbara Sitkiewicz to her realize her dream
when her family acquired a small weekend ranch in the lush farm county of
Southern Wisconsin. Barbara worked her first job, dedicating all of her
earnings to her dream, and was finally able to buy her first horse. She lived for
the weekends and would ride in the exquisite countryside alone, and with
new riding friends.
Toggling between city and country life for many years, Barbara pursued
higher education degrees, achieved a successful career in the field of
education, all while raising her two boys, Zach and Ethan. Eventually, the
cowgirl life won when Barbara designed and built her Belgian draft horse
ranch in Bull Valley, Illinois.
The strength, wisdom, and gentleness of her magnificent draft horses
characterize sought after qualities that she and her sons appreciate and
incorporate in there lives.
The ethereal beauty of the morning sun on the dewy grass while the Belgians
lazily graze, with their long blonde tails swishing every so often, reinforces the
knowing for Barbara, that she made the right decision in pursuing her
lifelong dream of living the cowgirl life.
