I was born in Oklahoma City and now live in Southend on Sea. What was I thinking!!?? haha No, it's not that bad. I am married to an Englishman and study the art of Dressage. I'm a Chickasaw girl that likes to do beadwork and I miss dancing in pow wows. I hear they have them over here but I think that's just silly. I also write for equestrian magazines and I'm working on my first novel with one of my excellent and talented friends. Here's a hint, it's got vampires in it. Big shock. Dave and I had a super cool wedding dressed as pirates there's some pics under my pictures page.If your mind isn't numb enough you can read my incredibly boring equestrian articles. To see my writing portfolio, http://www.../sosdressage/christyspage.htm"It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. Or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. And at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."-- President Theodore Roosevelt, Paris, 1910
