Dana Ruth Allison grew up in the Corpus Christi, Texas area and discovered her love of horses early. She's been riding since childhood -- self-taught and beginning with western, then bareback with jumping, and eventually English riding, including dressage. As Dana moved around as a young adult her horses moved too -- from Corpus to Georgetown where she graduated magna cum laude from Southwestern University, to Austin where she taught school and worked in the computer industry, to San Francisco where she worked for Intel, and finally back to Texas, before enrolling in law school.

Dana acquired the farm in June of 1996 and renamed it Farasi Farm. Farasi is the Swahili word for horse. She's made great improvements to the horse farm over the years with more planned. She has a home at Farasi Farm with many dogs, cats and her own horses.  Dana also rides, seen here on her stallion Stormy.


A trial lawyer in The Allison Law Firm, Dana is the first female attorney from Texas to be inducted into the International Society of Barristers.  Dana is also the first female attorney from Texas to be inducted into the International Academy of Trial Lawyers (IATL).  Both organizations are international honors organizations of trial lawyers recognized for their excellence.   

In addition to her love of animals, is her love for partner, Charles Fincher.
