Hi! My name's Amy... I'm almost 35 (going on 10), married with children (two girls, 7 & 4) and currently living in Bakersfield, CA. Was born & raised in Ohio, & when I get my way, we'll be living back there!

I have two horses: CJ, my cranky old QH mare, who I've pretty much handed over to the hubby & kids cuz she & I butt heads WAY too much. Then there's Patrick. Ever seen Spongebob? Ya know Patrick Star? That big dumb goofy red starfish? Yeah, that's my Patrick. He's big (16.2), he's red (red dunish chestnut), and I think he has marshmallows for brains. He's a Hanoverian and I've been told that he was a decent dressage horse at one time, but I have a hard time believing it. He's just too lazy.

Let's see... we also have three dogs and two cats. The last tiem I did a head count, that was it on the animals, but it seems there's always room for 'just one more, Mommy? pleeeeeeeeease??????'
