I have always loved animals so when Janice, a long time friend of mine, mentioned this farm called "Shady Acres" that was just outside of town would give riding lessons to anyone interested in it for a small fee. I didn't hesitate to jump on the idea of it. I already knew how to ride, thanks to the farm next door to my parents and I had always loved spending...
The Email. Hi Linnet. Isn't this internet a great thing? I have recently found your web page from a hyperlink on another page and found it very enjoyable, and very exiting even at my age (78).

So... the failed harvest meant several trips to the market to purchase food for the winter, along wit...
Hello everyone. Welcome back into my imagination. In this story, I envision a furry. My character is an anthropomorphic horse. He's a member of a small but growing population of a subspecies that resulted from an ill-fated attempt to prolong the lifespan of horses by injecting them with human DNA while they were still in the womb.

Every morning, they awoke, checked on Rex the dog & the six horses, maybe jog down the backroad, maybe just enjoy the scenery or just go skinny dipping in the swimming hole behind the barn.
