This belief in her first became evident when, at age 11, she won a regional championship in western horsemanship. Her love of horses and involvement in rodeo and ranching continues to this day.

That success gave her the impetus to create a new international delivery services company (Global Services of Arizona). When that firm reached $1.6 million in annual sales she sold it to invest in and devote her full time to the creation and management of the Nandar Entertainment Group.Off and on, over the years, as an actress, Nancy also continued to participate in rodeo events.

Earlier she decided to test her management skills by producing a feature film, "True Legends of the West," since then the rest is history.
