Jerell and I met and dated for a few years, during that time was when I learned Jerell was also an animal whisperer (all animas love him, especially me) Jerell had 2 children, Jerell Jr. and Shalonda from his previous marriage and I had Garrett. We married in 1997 and in 1998 our daughter was born, now we have a yours, mine and ours family.  During a vacation to Mexico we took a guided tour of a beachside ranch on horseback, I knew right then that the connection with that large animal was something I'd been missing and wanted our children to feel.  Once we arrived home I began the search for a horse to lease. We found a gentle gelding named Jack and spent several days a week grooming, riding and simply enjoying Jacks company. Before the first month of leasing Jack passed, I found myself purchasing our first horse and named her Samira and 2 years later came Raven. I trained them both using a method of natural horsemanship and even taught myself to trim their hooves by reading a book about The Mustang roll, which is describing how wild Mustangs hooved are naturally worn down but, I encouraged with nipper and rasp.
