Janna asked me to post on the blog and since this is my first "blog" experience, bear with me. I am so excited to have the privilege to participate in the IPE exchange to New Zealand!
Horses have been a part of my life for years-as a young girl then again when my two girls started taking lessons at ages 9 and 6. Katie, now 22, went on to other interests after several years but Sarah, 19, has never looked back. Some of the best training she has had has been through Pony Club the last 5 years, and I have followed, hauled, brushed, bathed, worked rallies, and everything else moms of riders do and loved every minute!
I've lived in Greenville SC for 30+ years and have been married to John for 25 years. Katie graduated from Presbyterian College in May and will be getting married this July. Thank goodness we started early with the wedding plans so I will be in good shape for this trip. John and I are empty nesters this year since Sarah started school at the University of Kentucky. She is studying Equine Science and Management and loves it! I am writing this from Lexington, on a visit for one of her functions.
I spend my time working part-time, taking care of my dad who is in a local assisted living facility, babysitting Sarah's new baby horse- Wiley, and doing "wedding" stuff. Oh, and I make quilts sometimes. I am off to check out some barns for Sarah's horse in the fall. Looking forward to meeting all of the team very soon!
