Equines! My other loves

Two decades ago, I stopped raising horses, but I never lost my love  for them—sight, sound, smell, and feel. Now that I have retired, I have rekindled that love of horses, both large and small. I enjoy them through my daughter and granddaughter’s equines and equine-related activities.

Endurance Riding             

My daughter lives a few minutes away. She has lots of acreage, and she specializes in well bred, excellent temperament, athletic Egyptian Arabians and Arabian crosses with bloodlines she has acquired and bred under the farm name Stardust Arabians. She and my granddaughter condition and compete in riding endurance in AERC-sponsored rides.
