I live in Arcola, IL with my husband Randy. I recently retired from a teaching career, and my husband is also retired after years being the principal of Arcola Jr/Sr High School.

     We have two daughters; our oldest graduated with honors from the U of I College of Business and is working out of state as a financial manager. Our youngest is a full-time dental hygienist working for an area dental firm. We now have a darling grandson whom we find a real thrill! Blake is his grandpa's buddy.

     My equine family consists of two geldings. One is a purebred Sahanad black Arabian gelding named Little Man. I've owned LM for over almost 9 years now. Together we've done quite a few trail rides, parades, and "road" miles since then. Little Man is a certified Search & Rescue mount.

   Right before leaving for CO last July, I happened to see a horse advertised that caught my eye. It was a cute Morab named Quiz that has Sahanad bloodlines on the Arab side! Quiz seems not only able but also willing to step up to the plate as he's a fairly quiet little guy.
