Horses and dogs
Grew up with Horses as my mother raised, showed, boarded and bred Arabians. I was in 4H for several years with my horses and went to a multitude of Rodeos. Always had a dog as a pet and still do to this day. Buddy, my Idaho Shag is my buddy at home and loves to load up in the vehicle and take a drive wherever I go.
