Gardner with her roommie at Cowgirl U., Jennifer Zehnder of Colorado. Zehnder writes for "Western Horseman" magazine and used to be a Yankee, but now she's a cowgirl who says things like "fixin' to" in normal conversation. Zehnder attempted to teach Gardner how to rope a fake calf: "Don't whip yourself in the face." Good to know.
