.:About Myself:.

::Intro::
I suppose I am your average 14-year-old girl, obsessed with horses. I live in Southern California, but my exact location will remain unknown. Hehe. I attend a local high-school as a freshman, and love to hang out with my friends both at school and at the barn.

My family is divorced, sadly, but my parents only live a few blocks away. I have 3 younger siblings, 2 brothers (11 & 8) and one sister (4). I love all my pets dearly, I have a horse, 3 dogs, 4 cats, some fish, and an incredibly evil bird. You'll see some pictures later on...

::Horse-Life::
I have been riding horses for eleven or twelve years, basically all my life. My mom had horses while I was growing up, so I rode them often. However, I didn't start taking lessons until I was seven. I perfected my horsemanship skills and learned how to ride English and jump (I had always ridden western on my mom's horses). I rode English for 2-3 years until I fell off and received my second concussion.

I took a year-long break from riding, then finally, I convinced my parents to get me a horse, as long as I rode western. My first horse, Skye, was a bay Paint gelding, and he has a very long story behind him, but he ended up having navicular and being unridable. So we had to sell him, loosing over $8,000.

Now I have my horse, Pepper, who I love with all my heart. I ride and show him in western pleasure, horsemanship, trail, and showmanship. I ride English on him sometimes, but not too often. In fact I have devoted an entire page to Poopers (his nickname) so you can hear me brag about him. hehe...

::Non-Horsey-Life::
Yes, I do have a life outside of horses and the computer. Heh. Hard to believe huh? I have many friends, and I love everyone of them! ^-^ I also baby-sit twice a week, which earns me over $200 a month. However, I have to use that money to help pay for Pepper's board and training, and my cell phone.

In my spare time I love to draw, although I can only draw horses. I think I'm pretty good at drawing them as well, just take a look at my Math Notebook. Lol! That's where you'll find most of my doodles.
