Life began for me at the tender age of 13, when I got my first horse, a young stud colt who taught me everything I really needed to know about horses. He was my only teacher for a long time, I was raised in the city and had no horse experience and we purchased a farm near Floodwood, where there were NO horse people around to turn to. Well, I could write a book about growing up with my horse, but I'm sure you are not all that interested so I'll wait for someday to write that much! |

Snoopy was the sorriest looking excuse for a colt one ever saw, but to my 13 yr old eyes, he was perfect. Mom could afford the $100 price tag, I wanted a black horse (and he was THEN), and we had just closed on the farm that week. They threw in a filly for another $50 and mom felt sorry for Didget and we took her home too. Can't have just one you know, it might get lonely of course. We got them home, now I look at these pics and see worms, babies, and a friend & I who know nothing of these new pets. They did produce a foal the next year, I was not present (we still lived in Minneapolis), and I lost that one. Never lost another from birthing since, as I've never left one unattended that I bred. But I was just a kid, and dad wouldn't bring me back up to tend to my baby tho I begged. |

Well, a lot's happened since those days, now I still have and love horses more than anything else in this life, I've gone thru Gastric Bypass and have a whole new life ahead of me and thank my Lord for all I've been given! Not many have a second chance at living, you'll see pics of me at 325lbs, and now at a much healther 170 or so, and still working on getting to my goal of 150 someday. I love photography, fishing, hiking, working on saddles & harnesses for repair, reading, sewing, crafty stuff. I train my own horses now, to ride and drive, and I love them best. I've pulled the girls from their dams, so they are really special to me. I have a lot of horse friends, a husband who puts up with it all, a daughter and son-in-law that loves them too, and a son that lives in the nicest vacation spot on earth: Hawaii! I'm pretty content with what I've got, and even tho I might not have a dishwasher, I'm blessed with HORSES! |
