Her family moved away from the area to follow her dad’s jobs and just recently moved back. When Mackenzie was about 7 years old, she got her first horse, Darcy, who was an energetic Thoroughbred. That’s when her love for animals, especially horses, really began to grow. A few years later she bought a Quarter Horse/Appaloosa named Decker, who only grew her love for horses even more. After high school, Mackenzie plans to go on to college to become a Registered Veterinary Technician.
