| Hello and welcome to my stable.This is going be another one of those "about me" pages because I think that everyone should know a little bit about the other hobbyist in this hobby.And also that way everyone feels a little more comfortable dealing with someone they kinda know rather than a complete stranger! I have been in the model horse hobby about 17 years now,but I have been collecting since I was about 2 or 3.I can remeber my mom putting the classic rearing lippizan on one of my birthday cakes! But now that I am 30 I can buy them for myself.I have right around 265 models (and still growing).I own everyone of the PS standing Drafters with the exception of a few of the rarer ones. I did own 2 horses a few years back.One was a shetland pony named Trigger |
| These 2 photos were taken within a few days after we brought him home. That was 1981 and he stayed with me until 1990 when he passed on to greener pastures.He will be sadly missed forever.... |
| My other horse was a QH/TB gelding named Bosco.We showed in all English events and even tried barrel racing (once) LOL Boy was that a showring blunder.I sold him quite a few years back and have unfortunatly been horseless ever since. |

| I met a wonderful,kind man at the begining of the year.We dated for a few months and on November 20, 2005 we were married.We went on our honeymoon to a Sandals resort in St. Lucia which is in the caribean (sp) for a week. On December 1st we went to the doctor and found out that we are going to have a baby in late july! During sept. we purchased 3 black & white homozygous tobiano paint mares.They are 2-3 yr.olds and 1 yearling. One is bred and due to foal in early march by a foundation bred blue-roan QH stallion. My husband owns a feedstore that I help out with in the mornings doing the books and registers. After about 9 I am getting started back on my model tack. He knocked out a wall in his office to make it longer so I could have my workarea at the store with him instead of at home. So we could be together more, hehe he is sooo sweet! ;) I will be adding pics of our western themed wedding as soon as I can, and maybe of our honeymoon and defiently of our new horses! and of course pics of him and I! |
