Our house and property   My Story - I have Trained, showed and raised horses since 1979 Trained, showed and raised dogs since 1996 I grew up on a small farm in Marshfield, VT. We raised pigs, chickens, turkeys, cows, and sheep. We kept a few horses for recreation. I have 4 siblings who are now scattered from Michigan to Maine. My parents divorced when I was very young. The Family farm was sold off, and we built and moved into a energy efficient "solar" Home in one of the remaining farm fields. I spent most of my early life drinking in the art of life on those acres with my siblings and mom. I joined 4-H and started Windy Hill Riders 4-H group with several others, when I was 7. Our First show pony soon came into our lives when I was 8. At the ripe age of 12, I started showing the Hunter/Jumper circuit. Tragically when I was 14, I had a severe accident at a horse show when my horse reared up and flipped over top of me. I had no heartbeat. A seizure started my heart. Due to the injuries incurred from the horse crushing my head, I now live with epilepsy. I purchased my first Quarterhorse the year of the accident. He was a fantastic boy that brought my trust back and mypassion with horses continuid. I competed in the Hunter Jumper circuit until I went to college. I entered Colby Sawyer College in 1989. School was a huge challenge to me due to my Memory loss issues, a side effect of my epilepsy. I waffled and wobbled thru college, Trying to find myself. While I knew my talents resided with animals, I struggled to find my way to combine my passion with making a living. After 3 years of still wobbling thru school with no set direction, I left college with my associates degree in liberal arts. I hoped to find what I wanted to do with my life.. Its clear that I had a affinity with animals and the arts. But where would that lead me? I dabbled in senior portraits and traveling to horse shows to photograph. I enjoyed capturing the serene beauty of the animals, all animals from at work to play. In 1992, I purchased a 2 yr old gelding, to show western pleasure. This started my new endeavor into the American Quarterhorse world. I competed around the new England area and mid west. While my boyfriend of many years built a home, I decided I needed a small dog to bring with me on the road to the horse shows. I started my research for a small dog. I was looking for a small, athletic dog that could adapt to a variety of living conditions. Originally thinking I wanted a Jack Russell Terrier, started my research of the breed. I "discovered" the rat terrier breed while at the American QuarterHorse Congress show in Ohio. I soon decided that this finally was the breed I was seeking for my best-friend and traveling companion! Their sense of humor, fun-loving antics, diverse temperament and easy maintenance made them the ideal breed for me. A year later, I purchased Mylo from a Good Ol' Farmer in Ohio at the Quarterhorse Congress. Mylo truly is the best ambassador of the breed. He is witty, smart, able to hunt at the drop of a hat but gentle enough for the loving hands of a child. Soon After I purchased my first Rat Terrier, another pair soon followed, and another and another! __________________ Our Home in Vermont sits on 9 acres of field and wooded land.
