“I've had the little girl's love of horses since, well, I was a little girl too many years ago to admit to... I'm blessedly at a time and place in my life where I can follow my passions, which most definitely includes horses. I thank the Great Spirit that I found someone with a deep knowledge along with a great sense of humor and the ability to teach who has shown me the way to understanding these magnificent creatures. Pony has been my guide, and Iyuptala University and it's instructors have been my reference library for whatever questions I've had; I know they will continue to be available for whatever information I will seek in the future. "Life is a journey, not a destination." My journey has just begun."
