How in the Heck did I get where I am.  I think it started when I inherited some Money from my Grandparents.(My sister and I think it was a test so we know how to handle Money when we win the lottery). I tried to invest some of it wisely. Bought some apartments. (Big Mistake).  Then I decided that I was going to get something I had always wanted since I was a child.  I wanted a horse.
Well to have a horse you have to have some land.  My neighbor next door was elderly and he sold me his barn (everything in it and around 5 acres.  I did get a pretty good deal.  There was a couple of tractors farm equipment and a pretty decent sized barn that needed some work.

I started working on the fencing and started getting it ready.  I studied the different horse breeds. I decided on Morgans.  They have a history and a great personality.  I found a breeder and fell in love with a little gelding. He was only 2 years old and not broke. I had never owned a horse and had only been around them at my maternal Grandparents when I was very young.  I had read about horses how to train and what to do.  The breeders were impressed with my knowledge that they sold him to me. I knew I needed more then one.  So I found someone that had a  beautiful palomino for sale. Seemed like a nice horse. Very calm and tall 16.2 hands.  Good for my husband and children that are tall. The couple had another horse that had seen better day, and also threw it in on the deal. Well now I have 3 horses.  The palomino ended up barn sour, the poor old horse did turn out to be the best, and I had a young horse to break.

Now my life just became busier.
