I have always enjoyed reading! Most particularly, I have always loved reading fairy tales, finding they serve to connect with people’s imaginations, adding inspiration, joy, and happiness to their lives.

The first horse I ever rode was a spirited Shetland Pony who promptly bucked me off! I went flying through the air, arms, and legs all akimbo, and after a brief visit to the local hospital Emergency Room, and one arm cast later, my father gave me my very own Appaloosa horse named Cherokee. Cherokee taught me many amazing things, including responsibility, loyalty, and respect, as well as how to love and care for all animals whether great or small.
