Re: [RC] Utah Riders - Laurie BakerIn answer to Amber, and anyone else who is wondering:Heavens! I am small, wiry middle age. I think my brain is still around 21. I have four college degrees, mostly in education and hearing impairment. You wouldn't know that to look at me, and I am not snooty about it. Just what I used to do. Now I shovel manure, mostly! I am definately a hight energy person. I ride a sweet, crazy Arab named Cobblestone and I also own a P.O.A. named Topper (Show name, Pocket Change), a Clydesdale named Martin, a Shetland named Grady and a TB/Welsh Cob X named Sugar Ray. I have a kind, gentle husband who rides the Clyde, and a fourteen year old daughter, who rides anything and all, except my Arab. I also have two sons, who are both married to really sweet girls. I live on a hundred acre farm, 25 minutes below Boston. My horses live in my barn and I do all the work. We are surrounded by conservation land, so I ride the trails every day, but I prefer to trailer to places where I can get a longer ride. My favorite riding partners are my friends Pam Johnson and Linda Merims, ridecamp lurkers, my neighbor Guy, who owns four Arabs and loves to gallop up hills, and my husband, John, who lets his horse stop every three feet for a snack. I also love to ski, as does my family, so that's why we bought the condo. My neice and nephew lived in PC. (She owned Park City Lab and he worked at the Olympic Park.) My sister has owned a place there for 16 years and I have always loved it. I'm just looking for a few friends that I can talk horse, and hopefully ride horse with. I would go crazy so far from my own herd without some horse friends. My family and I go to the island of Bonaire every year for two weeks. We've done this for twenty years and we've made some wonderful friends there, who have come and visited us and ridden with us here. When we are there, we get to ride through the desert, onto the beach, and into the ocean! There is nothing so cool as being on a horse that is swimming through the waves! When they come here, they get to do something they've never done: ride through a field of grass and ride through tall forest. Bonaire is a volcanic, semi-arid island,with scrub brush, cactus, wild goats and donkeys everywhere, and incredible pink flamingos. No grass. No tall trees. I could go on forever, but I think you will see, I am fairly harmless! Please write back!
