Hello everyone! My name is Kadence Gruno, and I am a 20-year-old resident of Stockton, California where I study at San Joaquin Delta College with the goal of getting my business degree.  I have been riding horses for almost ten years now and have been training for five out of those ten.  I am very involved in the rodeo community as both a barrel racer and rodeo queen. Over the past six years, I have held three titles: 2019 Miss SJCHA Jr. Queen, 2023 Miss SJCHA Queen and 2025 Miss Truckee Pro Rodeo Queen. I specialize in restarting off the track thoroughbreds and starting young horses with a focus on groundwork, a solid foundation for any discipline and the working relationship between rider and horse.
