How we got started...

Besides the pigs...
The other major part of my life is my horses. My family got into horses when I was very young, and I have been devoted, obsessed, riding and competing ever since. Unfortunately because of college I am unable to keep my horses with me here in Henderson, so they reside at my parent's stables, which isn't too far away. Our barn is located in northern AZ and is called HDR Quarter Horses & Arabians. At one time, all the members of my family rode horses, but now it is mainly my mother and I. I show English, Western, & Hunter Jumper with Quarter Horses. I compete in every event (for all-arounds and high points) and specialize in showmanship, western pleasure, and jumping. I compete in AQHA and other circuits in CA, AZ, NV, and UT. I have competed and won at many state and national events. I am now training and competing on "Celebrity Hit" (an AQHA gelding), in Jumping, English and Western. My mother has done showing in the past, but now does Endurance (hence why we have Arabians). She consistently places in the top 10 and is often considered for best condition awards. She will be competing in the World Endurance Competition (Tevis) in 2008. When I am off from school I do offer riding lessons, some training, exercising, and grooming services. So if you are interested in any of these, please let me know.

When I can't ride anymore, I shall still keep horses as long as I can hobble about with a bucket and wheelbarrow. When I can't hobble, I shall roll my wheelchair out to the fence of the field where my horses graze,
and watch them.
