I have been an avid horse lover since I was a child growing up in the New York City area.  My parents were supportive in that they let me take lessons and work at a barn to get more rides, but they would not buy me a horse.  After getting married and raising young children, I didn’t have the time or money for horses.  But when my daughter turned 11 she became interested in horses and  I had the opportunity to go back to riding. 

Initially we both rode hunters.  But our trainer insisted that we also ride dressage.  In time my daughter grew up, got a life and moved away.  I took her very nice hunter to fourth level dressage (with LOTS of help from my trainer).  As he aged, I started shopping for my dressage horse.  When I couldn’t find anything that I liked, I started thinking about breeding.  I had the mistaken belief that I could breed a horse cheaper than I could buy one!  Wow, was I mistaken.

Fortunately I love breeding and love raising babies, because it is a very expensive occupation.
