Helen Michaelis

In 1917, the family moved to a larger ranch in Concho County, Texas, near Eden.

[1] Hall attended college at the University of Texas, and spent the summer of 1928 teaching riding at Camp Ekalela near Estes Park in Colorado.

When she returned to Texas, she rounded up a string of horses she had raised and trained on the family ranch, and drove them from Eden to Austin.

Hall stayed active in the livestock business after marrying Michaelis, and continued to raise and train horses in Mexico.

She met some initial resistance and prejudice as a woman in the livestock industry, but ultimately gained the respect of her peers.
