Born in August, year 1940. Mother of 4, grandmother of 12, retired school teacher, Chicago Public Schools, loved it. Always was a country girl at heart, been coming to Michigan since I was a kid. I have been widowed 11 years, retired in Michigan, bought a horse 2 years ago, best thing I have done for myself. Love him, Zak, a 6 year old gelding. He is very patient with me and loving. Love to ride, I am still learning and will continue to learn about horse and ride, which is a good thing. Believe in respect between horse and owner, gentle guidance rather than brute force compare to dealing with some of my old students in 7th and 8th grade. Pick my fights. I am in good health, Thank God for that. Thanks to all those who have helped me along he way, Kimi and Chris.
