Barb

Barb and I met through the Internet, when I found her advertisement to free lease Xena.

There I was, with my newly-minted Carrot Stick™, more enthusiasm than knowledge, and thrilled to find someone willing to take a chance on my beginner horsemanship skills. I was so excited, I couldn’t sleep.

But I didn’t expect to find Barb, with her welcoming nature, a lifetime of horse experience, and the generosity and willingness to share it. I imagine she’s seen it all, as the owner of a boarding barn and the rescuer of numerous horses destined for slaughter. I’ve learned so much from her, from horse husbandry and healthcare, to herd dynamics and equine behaviour. I truly value her advice, suggestions and constant support.

If not for Barb, Xena’s life would have ended years ago, and my horsemanship dreams would never have been realized. We both owe Barb so much, and I know I’ll always be grateful.

Thanks Barb!
