I just joined today after my mom (KathyC) told me how much fun you girls are. Mom didn't post a message here when she joined because she's 'shy', so I decided to out her. 
We live in the Piedmont of North Carolina. I live on a QH farm about 45 minutes from Charlotte and she lives in the city. Between us we have 3 horses - A Mustang Pony, a TWH, and a 5 Gaited ASB, 2 dogs - A Swiss Mountain Dog and a Plott Hound/Boxer (who's up for adoption to a farm home, please take this dog before I murder him for chewing my house up!), and 14 cats - Ranging in age from 22 to 4 months, Siamese, Tonkinese, DSH, DLH, and a Maine CoonX... I do cat rescue and mom only has 1 of the 14... She's the smarter one of us sometimes. 
I grew up riding horses, Dressage and Hunter/Jumper, did a stint as a Saddlehorse groom... I now clicker train and train trail and gaited horses for fun... IRL we're both insurance agents and have a family business.
Look forward to posting here... Guess I'll have to behave myself since mom is on here too!

Hi Stephanie! You're from the Piedmont of NC?! Woot, woot! I'm from NC, too. Right now I am stuck just over the border in Virginia. I got married last year and moved here with my husband on his farm. My brother lives in Charlotte; but wants to move back up here. (We live near Danville, VA)
Our horse farm in in NC, though. I grew up riding hunter/jumper, and now I teach it. We have 8 horses, (four OTTTBs) a dog, three cats, and a bunch of chickens. Check out my horse blog by clicking "the wind of heaven" link below.
Glad to have you on the forum. Yay for more NC girls!

Thanks for the welcome guys!
I've reduced down to 4 cats and 1 dog right now (thank you for my sanity back! My house is only 600 sq ft...).
I love your blog Hosanna, do you know of anyone looking for a BTDT grandma safe TWH? Mom is selling hers and he's a great boy. Not appreciated much by me, too perfect. I like me hot, quirky ASB and my mustang is my heart horse by far (she's perfect too, when she gets her way ;) )

Welcome Dixie4sure
I'm sure you will feel right at home here. Its nice to see others from North Carolina. I had to look on a map to see what part of the state Belhaven is in and I must say that the Outer Banks are beautiful - one of my favorite places to visit.
Enjoy

The Outer Banks are very pretty. I am not far from Ocracoke Island as far as the crow flies. It is a great place to vacation.
