I love horses and I love to write so I thank my mom for letting me own Cross Creek Horsemanship, which allows me to share my two loves with others.  She also counts this as part of my school work.

With the acceptance of this award, I am supposed to share seven things about myself that you might not already know.  This is harder than it looks because some of my readers know me very well and some do not know me at all.

1.  I have mutton busted three times at the Grimes County Rodeo.
2.  I carried the Texas flag in the grand entry of the rodeo while riding Ladd.
3.  My favorite author is John Erickson, who writes the Hank the Cowdog series.
4.  My favorite dinner is chicken-fried steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, and corn-on-the cob.
5.  I am a Christian.
6.  I like to cook and am learning to grill.
7.  I am dyslexic.

I hope that my blog encourages others.  I want to help people enjoy horses.  My mom has taught me that talent can only get you so far.  It is passion that separates you from the crowd.  I certainly have a passion for horses so I hope that what she says is true.
