Introductions

I have been blogging privately for a little over a year now and I've finally decided to make an entrance to the public blog world. Over the last year I have really enjoyed reading and following along with alot of wonderful blogs and this has inspired me to share the life I have on my farm with everyone.

I grew up with horses, my whole young life revolved around them. I went 12 years without horses in my life. During that time I always knew I wanted to own horses again, it just took longer than I realized it would for me to re-enter the world of horses.

5 years ago my dream came true. I was given a very greenbroke 8 yr old 1/2 Arab 1/2 Paint mare. Was I ready to take in such an insecure, nearly unbroke horse, especially since I hadn't owned a horse in 12 yrs? You will hear alot of stories about the ups and downs we have been through since Brandy came into my life.

3 years ago my boyfriend of 15 years decided he'd like to join the horse world, how lucky am I? Does this ever happen? He's as non-horsey as they can get! Although he did tell me "It will really be your horse, I just want to ride it whenever I want!" I will never forget those words! A few months later, Fritzy came into our lives. A greenbroke 7 yr old Paint mare. Now why would we buy a greenbroke horse for a beginner? You will find out soon!

You will also get to know 2 crazy Australian Shepherds. Bailey is my almost 3 yr old black tri, he is the most amazing, perfect dog I could ever ask for!

Sadie is my 1 1/2 year old blue merle who is quite a challenge. She is socially anxious, very insecure, very protective of me and I am bound and determined to do what I can do to get her to adjust to a normal dog life.

I also have 5 cats, one who is worth a million dollars, in my eyes! You will hear the amazing story of the survival of that million dollar cat and let us not forget those 4 adorable goats!

I can't wait to share my goofy, sometimes serious and downright crazy adventures that happen on the Painted Creek Farm!
