Decisions decisions….where do I start with my stories? The answer was easy….as my horses came to me…..right down the list. Here we go…….

Abbar

As is mentioned in my introduction, I am a registered nurse by vocation. I am also a bit of a restless soul, and I travelled around the globe for over 20 yeats doing contract work. Which suited me just fine! Satisfied the Sagittarian influence over me. Thankfully my travels sent me to the middle east, Saudi Arabia specifically. And this is where I met one of the greatest souls to touch my life. And he changed my life. His name was Abbar.

Working in the middle east was a very exciting opportunity for me and I was extremely excited to go to this part of the world. I imagined a whole new horizon of experiences, people, places and lifestyle. I knew there was a small riding facility on the compound where I would be living, but I promised myself not to go there, to do other things and experience those new horizons. My plans were quickly changed.

My home compound had a small circular where sales could be advertised. I had moved over my entire household, and it was time to downsize so I frequently posted items for sale. ONe day I found my old saddle from my show jumping days. As near and dear to my heart as this old saddle was, it was time to move it along to a new home. It sold quickly, but also unbeknownst to me, word spread quickly that an American with horse experience had arrived……and my trajectory changed.
