I used to be an accomplished horse person. I started riding at 5 years old, began taking formal lessons at 7 and by the time I was in high school I bought and trained my own horse. That was a long time ago, a different life. When I had to give my horse up because I no longer had the time she needed of me it broke my heart in so many ways. I was career focused and I knew she deserved more then I had to give. I endured the heartbreak never thinking horses would be something I would once again be involved with
It started out simple enough after I moved across the country from California to Maryland for the love of a man. I thought I’d get back into riding, maybe I’ll take some lessons I thought to myself and that quickly progressed to the idea of leasing a horse. It took me about 2 weeks after that to decide to buy one of my own and about another week of contemplation before I decided on an OTTB. An off the track thoroughbred. A majestic and often misunderstood bred in abundance and in need of good homes out here
I jumped in with both feet and bought Jezebel an OTTB mare we were together a year and a half when I decided two was better then one and now I have two ex racers, Jezebel and Circe. My beautiful thoroughbred mares, thing one and thing two…. night and day.
