RIP 1953-2021
Hey Hi Katja, I used to be a dressage rider back in the day. My dressage trainer actually taught me to long line and eventually to drive. I am retired from riding now but My goal when I got my Percheron was to do driven dressage and eventually Combined Driving... Couldnt afford it. Sigh.Ok, I'm coming out of lurkdom now that I've read THE WHOLE THING!!What fun!!!!! Oz, you are an Inspiration!![]()
I was so engrossed in the story that I didn't want to interrupt my reading to post. It only took me 3 days to get through it, but I have more time than usual to read these days as I'm still recovering from an accident and haven't gone back to work yet.
So.....before I get yelled at for just poking my head in and disappearing again, I'll go ahead and introduce myself. My name is Katja and I live in central Alabama. I am a professional Dressage trainer and a Chickenaholic. I have a little 3 acre mini farm, on which I live with my 5 equines (3 horses, 2 donkeys) 3 barn kitties, a doggie and, of course, CHOOKS!! I adore my chickens. I got them as day-old chicks and started with 4 Red Stars and 4 Australorps. Then I added my little Bowie to the mix. He's my little Polish roo, of whom I am insanely proud because he made Chicken of the Week with his picture here last week! All of my friends are insanely jealous that I have a Famous Chicken.
. Seriously, these little critters are addicting, but I am not telling any of you here anything you don't already know. I have eggs in the 'bator right now, as we speak, trying to hatch out the first batch of Bowie kids. I am almost finished building a second, smaller coop to use as a grow-out pen for the teenagers once they outgrow the brooder.![]()
So, that's my little world in a nutshell (or should I say eggshell?)
Cheers,
Katja
