My Story:

Brought up in SA, left in 1999 because of the high violence and crime rate. Had 21 dogs in SA, all first and foremost pets, but also most of them were fully trained in personal protection.

Before the kids came along I was very involved in show jumping, but since having the kids just don't seem to have the drive and enthusiasm required (time an issue too). Still ride every day though, but just for pleasure now. Do a little bit of teaching (horse riding) and run my own livery yard.

Usually spend most of the summer months handrearing baby parrots, but have promised the kids I will have some time off this year so we can do normal summer holiday stuff like going to the beach and maybe even a holiday!
