As a child, Horton was a WWF (World Wrestling Federation) fan and grew up watching "WWF Superstars" and would sometimes attend WWF events.  Her interest in pro wrestling waned as a teenager but was then rekindled during the WWF's Attitude Era, becoming a fan of The Rock and D-Generation X.  As soon as she became interested in a career in professional wrestling, Horton started researching various wrestling schools wherein she contacted Steve Corino.  He was an independent wrestler who promoted wrestling events in Horton's area.  They corresponded through email and through this correspondence, Corino told Horton to go to Rapid Fire Maldonado for training.  Corino couldn't do it due to his busy schedule traveling between the United States and Japan.  Horton began training at Maldonado's Cruel School of Rasslin' in June 2002 where she was assisted by various wrestlers.  She also trained with Terry Funk at various wrestling dojos.  Horton made her professional debut in May 2003 against "Luscious" Ronnie Stevens.  Horton started wrestling for World Xtreme Wrestling later that year by participating in a 10-man tag team match with Traci Brooks, Ariel, April Hunter and Cindy Rogers against Tara Charisma, Sumie Sakai, Ranmaru and Luscious Lilly.  Horton would then team with Cindy Rogers in several tag team matches defeating Tara Charisma, Luscious Lilly and BellaDonna.  Horton would also feud with Charisma in independent promotions, teaming up with Cindy Rogers to defeat Charisma in various tag team matches. These matches also included 6-women tag team matches.  Horton and Rogers also dominated singles matches, including 4- and 6-way matches.

In early 2004, Horton became the United Wrestling Alliance's Women's Champion by defeating Luscious Lilly in a battle royal.  This would result in a major feud between the two which ended with Luscious Lilly defeating Horton in July and winning the title, partly due to interference from special guest referee Tammy Lynn Snytch and Chris Candido, who accompanied Tammy to the ring.  Horton was granted a rematch on June 26, teaming with Cindy Rogers and Shannon LeVay and Luscious Lilly teaming with The Killer Babes (April Hunter & Nikki Roxx).  Rogers turned on her tag team partners right after Lilly pinned Horton.  Horton was then invited to take part in CHIKARA's World Tag Grand Prix along with Allison Danger, becoming the only female tag team to compete.  The duo were eliminated in the opening rounds by Arik Cannon & Claudio Castagnoli on February 18, 2005.  Several months later, Horton participated in a mixed Royal Rumble-style battle royal during the Chris Candido Memorial Tour, which included several male and female pro wrestlers from promotions such as USA Pro and World Xtreme Wrestling.  Horton took part in a 8-woman championship tournament on June 5, 2005 to crown the first NECW Women's Championship (it was won by Mercedes Martinez).  Horton went on to win the PWF Mayhem Women's Championship only to lose it to NECW Women's Champion Nikki Roxx in Somerville, MA, combining both titles on August 13, 2006 to create the World Women's Wrestling Championship.
