About Me

When I grow up I want to be a little kid. email = [email protected]
blog = http://emilymjenkins.wordpress.com

I'm and outdoorsy, sunshine-y kind of girl, really. I own and train four of the most beautiful horses you could ever imagine, and use them in my riding lesson program for kids. I also coordinate and run a small horse camp during the summers, which is basically always being planned, or always being recovered from. It's a blast, but it's also a lot of work. I spend most of my time day dreaming, and planning intricate collages and original works of art that I never finish. never. It's getting a little ridiculous, really.
