I’m Paige and I grew up in the small town of Lancaster, SC where my family has lived for many generations. In kindergarten I decided I wanted to be a veterinarian one day because I loved animals so much. Growing up my life revolved around family, horseback riding, church, friends, swimming, soccer, school and playing outdoors.
I graduated from Clemson University Calhoun Honors College with a degree in Animal Science/Equine Business. I started working as a veterinary technician and a promotional model while trying to decide the best career path for me. I didn’t want to devote the time and money into attending vet school because I also wanted to be a stay-at-home Mama one day like my Mama. I applied for the position as NASCAR’s Miss Sprint Cup and got the job! I traveled the country and fell in love with broadcast journalism.
After this job I was cast on numerous television shows and modeled for Wrangler, Bass Pro Shops and other large companies. In 2014 I started working for RIDETV, an equine based television network. I moved to Texas and shortly afterwards I met my now husband, Ty Murray. I started work as the Fox Sports sideline reporter for a rodeo association and continued to travel the country.
I love to cook, and while working for RideTV, I hosted my own cooking show “Southern Fried Skinnyfied.” I’m passionate about health and fitness but also delicious food the whole family will love! I self-published my cookbook also titled “Southern Fried Skinnyfied.”
Ty and I got married and I moved to Stephenville, TX to live on the TY Ranch, a cow/calf operation. I started rescuing and adding animals to my funny farm. I became a step-mom to Kase and then gave birth to my daughter Oakley in 2018. Being a mama is the honor of a lifetime and filled me with more purpose and love than I’ve ever felt!
We spend our days exploring the ranch, riding horses and taking care of our animals. I have always loved to write, and a desire was in my heart to write and tell the stories of all the lessons growing up on a ranch is teaching our kids. Becoming an author is undoubtedly one of my biggest accomplishments and dreams! I’m so thankful to share life on the ranch with y’all!
