where dignity never grows old

About Us Chris I keep the farm running. I feed and water the horses every day. I keep the pastures mowed down, put out grass seed and fertilizer, and mend the fences when Mother Nature blows trees on them. Most of my time away from work as a superintendent for a construction company is spent building something around the farm. I built our house three years ago. I have rebuilt almost 90% of the fencing on the farm, as well as some new pastures. A new hay barn is currently under construction, and a barn remodeling is scheduled for the summer of '05. When I make the time to enjoy my horses, I trail ride, rope the occasional calf, and attend as many horsemanship clinics as possible. When I ride, I am spending time with my wonderful wife and beautiful one year old daughter. I can't wait until she is old enough to ride on her own.
Meredith I have been enamored by horses as long as I can remember. I took riding lessons all through my childhood. As a young adult I bought my first horse, Annie, and things have snowballed from there. Annie has been my greatest teacher. We have done a little of a lot of different things: combined training, dressage, cow working, ranch roping, countless horsemanship clinics, and I have her eight year old son. Annie is now 25 years old and is semi retired.
Chris and I have five horses, two ponies, two Golden Retrievers, and a one-year-old daughter, Dylan. That keeps me busy. I am very fortunate to get to stay at home on the farm and take care of everyone. I am also very lucky to have a stay at home mother around the corner who baby-sits Dylan, which allows me to oversee the health care of the horses, hold for the vet, farrier, and dentist. I also teach a couple of lessons a week, ride, and occasionally drive one of my ponies. My life is a dream come true. |
