MY LIFE WAS SET AT AGE SIX

( I just didn't know it until age 50)
I was a horse crazy little girl; so many of us were. I didn't get one and I am quite sure that warped me.

 In my 50s I got a HORSE and

became  myself!

A STERLING AND A SILVER
Hanging out at the Gang Training Stable in Chino Valley Arizona, I mused out loud that some day, certainly not very soon, I maybe would get a horse. Gary asked me offhandedly what I would want. He knew just the horse for me and told me her name: SILVER and then asked why I was laughing. Just three days before I had appeared in court to change my name to STERLING! I am not superstitious but who could resist this?

DEEP IN THE GRIP OF HORSE FEVER
Although I wanted to breed Silver, the timing wasn't right. So I thought maybe I could buy a mare already in foal and found a lovely girl named Margaret.  Due to a bad case of horse fever, I thought why buy just one, when there was Margaret's half sister Savannah, also in foal to a fabulous stallion.  So presto, I had two more horses, they had a filly and a colt and presto, I had two more horses.

Nichole, a remarkable young woman, has become a good friend.  She is buying Obsidian Fire in Sterlling "Ally" (Zeulner's Silver Lagacy  X  HG Paris Hilton) and I am so glad to have them both close to me.  See both of them on the right
