Me and my horse Brandy

Me and my horse Susie Q

About My Horses and Life on a Farm

I own two Appaloosa horses. Susie Q is 19 years old and Brandy is 5 years old. Susie Q and Brandy are mother and daughter. Brandy was a surprise to me and my family. We were not sure if she was pregnant and sure enough she was. I have been riding horses since I was 12 years old.  I bought Susie Q on September 30, 1991.  It was a thrill at 13 years old to own a horse.  I took horseback lessons one to two times a week and I showed her at 4-H and BRVHA horse shows.  Susie Q was originally a gaming horse.  She was an excellent gymkhana horse.  I barrel raced her in a few shows and did very well.  After Brandy was born, separating them was extremely difficult.  During the summer, I took Brandy to the place I took my lessons and she stayed there while I showed Susie Q through the summer.  Finally at the age of 4 Brandy was broke.  I was very nervous the first time I rode Brandy.  It was a thrilling experience.  She was trained very well and she spooked now and again, but I held on for the ride.  It has been quite an experience living on a farm my whole life.  My dad would milk the cows and in the summer I would bale hay with him.  I got alot of scratches on my legs from that.  I grew up with a lot of different animals and it was great.  Now that I live in the city I feel as though I am learning the other part of life I never saw.
