Stephanie Archuleta, Vice President/Treasurer
Stephanie lives in Los Lunas, NM with her family of humans, horses, donkeys, and other creatures great and small. A horse-obsessed child and lifelong runner, it was inevitable that she would fall in love with pack burro racing. The combination of physical and mental challenge shared with a sensitive partner makes pack burro racing the ideal sport. A program manager in real life, she is excited to bring her many talents to the WPBA.
