For so long the general consensus regarding horses was to “show them who is boss” and interaction with them was based on dominance and intimidation.

About the Author
I am an avid animal lover. Horses, dogs, cats, you name it. I seem to be a magnet to children and animals. I am very easy going and even tempered for the most part. I value my friendships with a reverence. I do not call someone a “friend” lightly but if you are one of my friends, I am loyal to a fault. You can count on me. I enjoy sharing my world with others who can only visit the farm and experience the wonders of nature and animals in small doses. I have no interest in the city life or the hustle and bustle that goes along with it. I like the country, views of the mountains, small towns, a few good friends, time with the family-especially the grand-kids, a good book, gardening, baking from scratch, being able to let my dogs run free, sharing a good bottle of wine with interesting conversation and soft, jazzy music and regular segments of quiet, down time. I like to watch easy light-hearted movies and practice yoga occasionally. My husband swears I was born missing the fear gene where my horses are concerned. I take chances and can laugh at myself when I make mistakes. I may be a touch on the shy or introverted side at times.
I currently own and operate a horse farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia with my husband, Byron. I own horses of my own, boards horses for others, and share the equine experience with horse-lovers of all ages in unique camps, lessons, and visits.
