I am a horse lover and amateur photographer in my early 30′s. My life is pretty simple. I have 14 animals and a husband. No kids just as yet. In June of 2009 my husband was diagonosed with rare sarcoma cancer. He has beaten it and is still cancer free in 2012. In October 2011, I was diagnosed with rare sarcoma cancer of a sligthly different variety. I hope to remain cancer free throughout 2012 and enjoy my husband, my horses, my life!
Other interests of mine pretty much just include science fiction movies and TV shows. I love sci-fi. If it involves horses or spaceships, I’m usually all over it. I’m a big Star Trek fan, with Deep Space Nine being my favorite. I am a huge Predator fan, and yes, I loved PREDATORS! (Finally! A good one!).
I blog about y Quarter Horse Chewbacca mostly who I trained to drive in 2011, and Luke Skywalker, the wonder pony and Dixie the mini.

Thanks for reading!
Good luck with your horses! You should check out our equine photography blog – Capture The Light Equine (http://capturethelightequine.blogspot.com/). And maybe you can come to one of our workshops in Kentucky! We’re having one just before the Kentucky Derby and just after the Rolex 3-day eventing…
Hello,
Just wanted to say I’ve been reading on COTH and you are such a great inspiration. there are already over 18K hits on your one post!
I agree with most about the heavy on the left, heavy in the saddle… Congrats on making some changes to improve your horsemanship. I am really proud of you, even though I don’t know you. I do expect to hear great things about you oneday soon.
I do have one suggestion. I am involved in endurance and competitive trail riding, In CTR, you are judged (constructive critisism) on your skills and lots of suggestions are made to help you improve. I thought I could ride great, then I casually did a ctr. I was really upset and mad that someone would pick me apart so much (mounting, walking, hills, etc.) But, guess what… I improved. No on had ever told me I did things wrong. So, when they did I was flabbergasted, and offended, ha! So now I don’t make those same mistakes, but the brutal honesty sometimes hurts.
Hang in there gal! Congrats on loosing 10 lbs- the first 10 and last 5 are hardest to lose or so i hear.

Saw what you wrote on the FHTD site and came over to see your videos. I am a plus size rider too. We have lots of things to struggle with when we carry the extra weight, not the least of which is worrying about how we are affecting our horses. I watched your videos and I think you are doing well. I think I read that you are in the Chicago area. Me too. Would love to chat with you if you are interested. Send me an email.
