For most of my life I've been involved with horses. From the age of 8, when my parents sent me to my frist riding camp...I was hooked! My parents soon after moved to the country, and having a horse of my own became a reallity. My parents raised Quarter horses as well as having horses at the track. Shinny, my first love and teacher, was a black Dartmoor pony. When I out grew Shinny, my next love was Fred, an Arabian Gelding who was truly my soul mate with four legs.  As the years past I married and raised a family, and set aside my love for horses while raising my family.  My children are now grown , and I have been fortunate to be able to once again share my life with horses. Because they have always been such a big part of my life, knowing how to deal with those emrgencies is very improtatnt to me. I currently have two wonderful horses, Jerhico and Star . My family is complete with my daughter, son and fiance, all whom help make my life fulfilling and rewarding, even in the most trying times. I strive to better myself when I can, and being able to help people learn more to help themselves has always been a  goal of mine. As also being a teacher of defensive driving and of driver training, I want people to be able not only protect themselves, but also protect the things they love most, their family, both human & animal. I am also certified in CPR and Red Cross First Aid.
