Margaret Yao Pursell, Fannie Mae Corporate Communications, shown here on her horse, Master.

"Some people live to work but I definitely work to live. Living is spending time with my horse and dog. My love of animals keeps me busy after hours but always puts a smile on my face. A long-time passion has been horses. I became seriously involved after buying my own horse more than 15 years ago. A friend introduced me to eventing (horse triathlon which includes dressage, cross country and stadium) and I loved it competing in horse trials for many years up through training level. My two-year old black lab, Peanut, is also an important family member. She comes to the barn with me frequently. While my horse is like a big dog, Master and Peanut are not fast friends. Peanut’s best friend is Sugar, Rochel’s dog."
