Since
my very early childhood, horses have escorted me through my life.
I was involved with all different kinds of breeds from ponies to
thoroughbreds and quarter horses and did almost anything you can
do with horses, which included dressage, jumping, and competing in
Endurance Races and Western Classes.
Later
on I bred and showed Purebred Arabians very successfully,
especially with my Arabian mare "Nahemah" - a once-in-a-lifetime
horse - and won several Halter Championship Titles and qualified
for the German Open Championship in Western Competition.
In 1997,
my husband and I moved from Germany to the United States because
of his saddle business. He is breeding and showing quarter
horses for cutting and reining.
How did
I end up with Miniature Horses?
I saw
the first high quality miniature horses here in the States.
I fell in love with them a few years later at a Pleasure Driving
Show, held by the
North Texas Whip Club.
Two
weeks later, I bought my first one and then the "potato chip
addiction" began.
I'm
very enthusiastic about driving now. I compete at Pleasure
Driving Shows, Arena Driving Trials, and Combined Driving Events,
as well as showing AMHA and AMHR.
Miniature Horses have enriched my life, they simply make me happy.
If you
don't own one yet, don't think twice and get one... you will never
regret it.
