I've been a lover and dreamer of horses from a very young age. I used to ride one of my neighbor's horses growing up, took official English riding lessons at age 12, rode western on the hills of Montana on vacations as a kid - finally learned 3 day eventing and show jumpers on a lease horse in my late 20's, early 30's. At age 34 I finally got my first horse, a Thoroughbred gelding who had just retired off the racetrack - his name was Supertariat, he was an elegant grandson to the famed Triple Crown winner, Secretariat. I then entered competitive show jumping for the next 12 years of my life. He was a horse of a lifetime. Supertariate died in 1999 ... "my life with horses ended that day" ... if you want to see the movie I made, let me know ;-0

Needless to say, I LOVE horses ... when I ride my bike, I pretend I'm on a horse. It's almost as fast going downhill but it's not a horse - I own a Trek 5.2 Madone SL ... I'm having a blast- I love to ride out in the country where horses can be spotted roaming the fields ...
