Hello fellow Michigander! I have found a few of us on Barnmice but the majority are from Canada. I live in DeWitt, near Lansing.
Cash is my joy and passion in life now that the kids are all out of the nest for quite a while now. Five years ago I got back into horses after being out of the horse world totally for many many years. I try to ride western, enjoy doing groundwork and just plan love being around horses. I've been like a sponge trying to make up for lost time. The Parelli home study courses have been beneficial to me and my horse. I boarded at a training barn for over 3 years and was able to spend many hours a week (actually many hours most days) riding and watching the two trainers which was great for helping me gather some good horse knowledge I left a year ago to get Cash 3.5 miles from home rather then 35 miles each way. It's been a huge adjustment going from a very active barn to a smaller more casual barn.
If you are over 40, The 'Over 40 Group' is pretty active and fun.
What a beautiful place and great horse in your pictures. .
Who or what drew you to BarnMice?
I'm sure you will enjoy...It's my favorite by far.
Looking forward to hearing what your equine world is like.

I loved your blog!

Hi Jill,
