About Me

My claim to fame? I was the creator/editor of the long running Morrissey/Smith's fanzine, Morri'Zine. (1988-1995).Currently, I have an off the track Thoroughbred that I ride in the sport of hunter/jumper. Mostly jumpers and equitation. My horse, Cousteau or "Over The Top" (show name) and I took five championships in 2005. WOO HOO! And in 2006, we won several championships including 3'9" Jumpers and equitation championships. For 2007, we're on track to winning more jumper championship, equitation champions and the Ivan McAlister Perfect Over Fences series.I am also a CSHA and SAHJA jr. judge.Besides riding, I keep busy with my two beautiful children. Kylie, 10 and Reese, 4.
