For as long as I can remember, my life revolved around horses.  The following is a walk through my equestrian evolution...

Then take a look at how Canine and Abled is helping to fill the void...

One Door Closes...

. . .Another Door Opens

Me and my horse, Smokey

I was about 10 years old

My horses, Lady Reign (mare), Precious Tika (foal), and me ( I was about 13)

Me and Lady Reign. Our first horse show---We won!

Lady Reign is 23 years old now...I've owned here for 22 of those years. 

*Note; It is with great sadness that I report that Lady Reign died in Nov. of 2003. Her spirit lives on through her memories and it is for this reason that there will be a memorial page added to this site. Lady Reign, I'll always love and respect you; I miss you so much...God bless

Me and my friend, Amanda after a morning of galloping racehorses at Philadelphia Park Racetrack.

Me and my horse, Flying Hope. "Slack" was my cinderella story...he took me to a level of competition that I'd dreamed about.  He was the wind beneath my wings...He passed away in 2002. I will forever be grateful to him for the lessons he taught me and the joy he brought me.

Me and my horse, Pocket.  He is currently adopted out to a wonderful retirement home.

Me and Artos. When this photo was taken, I was manager at Ri-Arm Farm. "Artie" and I became great friends, and I still miss him and his antics to this day!  Mark Leone owned and rode him until his sale.  "Artie" is now passing on his gift to the next generation, as he is a breeding stallion in Europe...

Me and my mom.  This is my favorite photo of us. Mom isn't a horsey person, yet she never failed to miss my competitions, even though she was scared to death to watch me jump!  She supported me, no matter what...  She's the BEST mom!!!

Quiet times...times I miss most.  This is me and my horse, Classy Lady, who has since been sold to a very good friend of mine.  This photo was taken at my farm, Reignbow Ridge Equestrian Center.  I moved from here to accept the management job at Ri-Arm Farm shortly before my accident...

A feeling I'll never forget...

Starting over with a little help from a friend!

Canine and Abled is born...

Word about Canine and Abled starting to get out...

The Philadelphia Inquirer...

He never lets notoriety go to his head!  But, boy, What a handsome guy!

Typical brothers!

They grow up so fast!  Dawson (11 months)

Basically, he's just a country boy at heart...

...and often moonlights as a couch potato!

Together, we're Canine and Abled!

Drying off after a bath on a peaceful, summer afternoon...

Me and Dewey enjoying an aftenoon with  a seniors group

I love this photo of "my boys"

"MY toy!"

"Wanna play?!"

Pocket is a hunter/equitation horse that has done extremely well for himself. 

Precious Tika  (about a year and a half),and me... Tika is living with a new family in nearby Allentown, NJ...

Me and Lady Reign -- National Finals

Dewey and Clash, the mascott for the Trenton Titans hockey team....Let's go Titans!

Together, we are Canine and Abled!

My miracle daughter, Sarah and I with our very special horse, Maverick.  It is nearly seven years post-accident, and I am proud and happy to say that with Maverick's unending patience and quiet obedience, I am able to ride for pleasure again!  Maverick has become a life-line of sorts for me, because he links up my past life with my new one.  My doctors consider him to be a vital part in my recovery; and I couldn't agree more!
