A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
I have loved horses all of my life. When I was 2, we couldnt afford a horse so I became one - traveled on all fours and robbed hairpeices from my mom for a tail. At age 11, I got my first horse - an amazing mare (blue roan
Appaloosa/QH cross named Lochi's Cin), we grew up together in Seattle area.

I moved to NYC half way through high school and was separated from horses for nearly 10 years. It was at Claremont (in NYC) that I found my next equine guide, an Appaloosa/TB cross named Spring Thaw. He became mine b/c he kept leaving riders in Central Park and coming back to barn through 4 city blocks and traffic by himself - which was a liability to them but a sign of super smarts to me...we have been together now for 12 years. Next came Dane, my 10yr old Lipizzan cross - who is my current competition horse in Dressage and Eventing (lower levels).

    In response to a previous comment -- many foals, often only days or hours old are forced to run in the roundup and die...trampled to death and orphaned. The older, wiser horses are also taken, leaving the inexperienced ones without the knowledge of where the grazing and watering areas are and the survival skills needed to pass on for survival of the herd. I just wanted everyone to know what's going on, in case they didn't.
