About me: I grew up showing Quarter Horses in just about every event and have mainly barrel raced since high school. I love to travel to compete, but went back to school in '06. Now I stay somewhat local (at least within the state, usually). I like to camp... but my version of camping is in my horse trailer with a real bed, shower, toilet, electricity...sorry, I'm not a tent camper! I also grew up showing Afghan Hounds and have a 15 year-old Australian Shepherd. I went back to school last year to get the degree I have always wanted to get and am loving it so far. I'm competitive by nature and love sports...that doesn't mean I know everything about them, nor any good at them; I just like being a Cleveland sports fan (I know Brown's... it's been a tough few years... or decade... or..). I also like car racing, mostly NASCAR, but anything racing, even motorcycles (love that Ducati and am also partial to Suzuki GSXR...even named a colt of mine "Gixr"). I'm partial to Chevy and Pontiac, but don't hold grudges against people who drive others (I may feel bad for them... but...) I'm lucky because I have a great bunch of friends and family who understand and put up with my crazy busy life.
