They were two of the founders of Iowa Associated Saddle Clubs. The whole family enjoyed riding and showing horses during the children’s years at home.

Clarine was a dedicated mother and was always involved in her children’s activities. Out of the desire to give her kids’ opportunities to do the things they wanted to do; dance became a large part of everyone’s lives. The boys didn’t care about it, but the girls loved to dance. She helped open several studios where her daughters taught dance.
