As I begin the journey into my past, I have been told that our family has Native American ancestors, but documentation has been hard to come by. What I do know is what I feel in my heart, I have always felt a kinship to all Mother Natures creatures like the Native Americans. The need to protect and preserve our wildlife, all creatures great and small, and their environment is my passion. Riding through the woods on our horses provides me with a true sense of "being as one" with nature and the horse. If you have never ridden bareback hugging the neck of the horse with his mane embracing your face, you have not experienced the priceless gift of the horse, his ability to share with you the true "Native American Spirit".
