I grew up in Texas with horses for as long as I can remember. My mother use to saddle up my horse and walk it down
to the bus stop (which was a ways down the country road we lived on) and there my horse would be when I got off
the bus. She would carry my books for me while I got to ride my horse. Now she says that she had no idea that doing that would
have created what I am now with my horses. So I told her its all her fault that I have horse brain. She loves my horses
though and my father said I have an eye for horses. My father is a veterinarian and I grew up working in the clinic.
I grew up knowing the value of an animal and how precious their lives are.
My husband and I have a 60 acre horse farm that we enjoy and work very hard for. We bale our own hay, have a pond
for the horses and a small lake towards the back of the property to enjoy the evenings fishing. We do have it stocked with
bass, crappy and cat. So when we want fish we don't have to buy it at the store, we just go out and catch it. Can't get fresher
than that.
I have done some rescue however, I do not make a habit of it because I can't just rescue one I try to save them all.
Then I get attached and I don't want to find them good homes. Good homes are hard to find anyway.
I enjoy reading a good book on occasion, riding my horses, working with those I will ride in the future, fishing,
camping, the dogs and well I enjoy a lot of things. I am happy staying at home, don't like to go out at all really. I would
rather stay here. We are set back in off the road and the privacy is wonderful. I grew up with country living and I can't
imagine living any other way.
I have 2 grown children and 2 grand-children. My daughter lives about 45 minutes from me and my son lives in Arizona.
I am very proud of my children for their accomplishments in their lives.
My husband is wonderfully tollerant of my weakness for the animals. He will usually let me come to the decision to
slow down on my own. I apparently have a habit of not knowing when to stop and then I end up killing myself to keep up but
he has to let me see that for myself. Then I slow down.
I have good friends, a loving family and what more could a person ask for. I am very greatful for the blessings that
have been bestowed upon me and my family and friends.
