I am an old ex-horse trainer turned RN. I have many interests an old flame/husband and two great daughters. You gotta love those teens! Wonderful people trying to find their way in the world, like flowers budding.I enjoy my friends who are a little off beat, like the chicken/duck lover, x-con - computer genius, tv light addict who lives in the back of her store, and loves a junk collector. The wierder the better. We have some great laughs!I have a head full of useless horse knowledge. I own six of them with my husband along with a few barn cats and a dumb dog. I got an Animal Science degree from UW-River Falls back in the late 70's and trained and showed professionally for many years. Now we just fart around and trail ride. I have one that does stupid pet tricks and looks like Trigger. My old arab mare (25 years) is a volunteer at a therapeutic riding place and has been my personal therapist for years. Everyone's favorite old auntie, that is what she is like. I have owned and lost three wonderful shelties and hope to have another someday. I look forward to seeing all of them at the "rainbow bridge" if there is such a place. And I believe there is.I have worked since 1994 as a nurse in different settings, mostly as a vehicle to support my horse habit. This is also an intellectually stimulating career and I am now back in school again pursuing a higher degree. When my kids are out of the house, I want to do travel nursing, so my husband and I can get out of frigid Minnesota in the winter. Maybe Florida, or Maui would be nice!I have a new hero, Cesar Millan! He should be president! I can understand his thinking like a dog, I think like a horse and have rehabilitated horses and trained people to think like them. I also love dogs and now, through watching Cesar's show and reading his book, I understand more about dogs than ever before. I even had a dream that I visited his family and learned some stuff from him. Cesar, you are the bomb! Your simple way of looking at dogs could be applied to horses and people. What a great theory for rehabilitating prisoners! Prisoners have been rehabilitated through working with horses, how about dogs, too?? I'd love to chat!
