Clint and Jordan first met way back in 2018. Friends had invited both of them to a riding day. Over the course of this first year Jordan became quick friends with Clint's older sister Vanessa. Jordan would constantly be out at the Gardner's house to spend time with Vanessa and would occasionally talk with Clint. Conversations mostly consisted of Clint teasing Jordan about hitting a Port-a-Potty with a golf cart at the Bend, Oregon horse show. Fast forward to 2019, Jordan developed a crush on Clint. Her way of showing this was giving him a maroon Aeropostale shirt for his birthday. This shirt became his lucky t-shirt. Clint would often wear it when Jordan came out to visit his sister. Around this time Jordan and Vanessa had a conversation that turned the brothers into 'off limits'. Jordan friendship with Vanessa grew but she did her best to make sure her feelings for Clint did not. They would talk now and then but any meaningful interaction was avoided... until Spring 2024. Jordan and Vanessa left a friends birthday party and Jordan was so mad that Clint hadn't danced with her that she ranted to Vanessa about how she had liked him for a long time and how he had never shown any interest in her back. That is when Jordan and Vanessa started operation 'Clint'. Over the next few months Clint asked for Jordan's number, walked her to her car each time she came out to visit, and talked with her on the phone (a feat for anyone who knows Clint). Operation 'Clint' came to a successful conclusion at the Temecula Horse show in California where both of their families spent two weeks together. At this horse show Clint wore his lucky t-shirt and won the ride and bike, afterwards asking Jordan out on their first official date when they got back home. And the rest is history . . .
