| Hi my name is Jennifer and I live on my little farm near the north shore of PEI. My dream as a little kid to one day have animals and live on a farm, and it came true! It is a far cry from where I grew up. My parents worked for an airline and we moved around several times in my younger years in order for them to keep their jobs. We started in Moncton then to Halifax, Saint John and then back to Bedford, NS all within 6 years. In a way it was great that mom and dad worked for an airline, we got to travel a lot. The only animal we had was a very tolerant cat, Grisette. She put up with a lot! I started to develop my love affair with horses around the age of 10. My mom is from PEI and we would spend several weeks of our summer vacation here on the Island. Not far from our cottage was a family with two horses. I remember the day, just like it was yesterday, the first time the man that owned the horses came over to me standing at the fence patting the horses. He asked me if I would like to go for a ride on one of the horses? I could not believe it!!!! He wanted me to ask my mom and dad to make sure it was OK with them. Shortly after that first ride, I started riding lessons when we were living in Saint John. I loved it! At the time I was having a hard time in school, not being able to keep up with the class work. It was believed that all I had to do was “try harder”. In the years to follow there would be lots of tears and saying I was sick, so I could go home… Within a year we moved back to Bedford, NS. My riding lessons stopped, but during the summer I would go to PEI and ride horses. True bliss! I loved EVERY moment of my summers on PEI. Sometimes there would be a couple of horses to ride, but other years I would have to introduce myself to complete strangers that had horses standing around. When I was 15 I got my first summer job working as a trail guide at Hatfeild Farm. I did that for a few summers. I managed to struggle through junior and senior high school. In grade 11 I was diagnosed with a learning disability. That helped somewhat with school, but the support I needed would be a long time coming. So the years I living in Bedford, were pretty busy for me, I got involved in the sport of fencing. My parents would not drive 20 minutes outside of Bedford to take me to riding lessons, but they would take me down to Dalhousie three to six times a week for fencing practice. At first, fencing was just for fun, but then I got invited to a training camp for the Nova Scotia Canada Games fencing team. Then I was hooked! I became an Epeeist! (that is one of the three weapons in the sport of fencing; epee, foil and saber) I represented Nova Scotia at the 1995 Canada Winter Games in Grand Prairie, Alberta. I also competed nationally all across Canada, internationally competing in the US. The highlight of my fencing career was winning two gold medals at Nationals in the team events. I even competed in the sport of Modern Pentathlon (it is a sport with running, fencing, shooting, swimming and show jumping). After I graduated from high school, I got into Dalhousie University and spent my time struggling through school work and coaching kids in a local fencing club. I went to the 1999 Canada Winter Games in Corner Brook as a team manager for the fencing team. That was the last year I was seriously involved in fencing. There was a parent that was making it too hard for me. Everything we did was not up to her standards, so it was time for me to move on. I left Halifax for Truro and the Nova Scotia Agricultural Collage. While in Truro, I met great friends. I had a great time at school, but academically it was still hard struggle. After two years, I decided school was no longer for me. I moved to PEI to be with my boyfriend and I got a job with Air Canada. I started to ride a lot here on PEI. Mostly doing trail rides, but I started to compete in Cattle Penning. My boyfriend and I spend many months and several years dating while we lived apart. Shortly after moving to PEI, Tim went to school in Ontario. The next winter I got layed off from work. That is when my best friend and I went to Australia for three months. We worked on one of the only trail rides around Sydney. It was lots of fun. I could ride the same horse all day and no one would know it name, there were over 200 trail ride horses. the trail ride in Oz When I came home to PEI got my first horse, Tramp and then two years later I got Thunder. They lived a few years with my best friend’s horse at her parents place. I went back to school in 2005. I graduated from University of Prince Edward Island with my BA in History. It was a UPEI that I got the support I needed for my learning disability. I went from making 50’s and 60’s to making 80’s and 90’s! The support that schools offer now compared to when I went in the late 1990’s is totally different. Also it was my money paying for school and I wanted to learn something. I was one busy lady, going to school full-time, working at Air Canada full-time (working the midnight shift), having two horses and traveling in my spare time! Tramp, me and my puppy Drake Thunder Graduation from UPEI My boyfriend eventually became my husband in 2008. He was not a horse nut like me, but he was always very supportive. Eventually we bought our place not far from my friend and her parents. We had to do lots of renovations to our house. My husband got his first horse during the winter of 2010. If he is going to follow me around to horse shows and cattle penning, he might as well be riding! Last summer we completed the run-in and the horses now live with us. In March we got a little cow horse from Alberta. Hubby and I, with Tramp and Trigger cattel penning Hubby and his horse from Alberta, Bob Our run-in Now what has really changed our life is not the horses, our careers, our house… nope, none of that. On April 10, 2011 we welcomed into our life Emma Kate! She is the most AMAZING person I know! Emma almost 4 months When I take the time to look at all that I have accomplished in my life; my horses, getting married, graduating from University, buying our house and giving birth to our daughter, it makes me very happy and proud! So that is who I am…. Here are some more pictures Our Alaskan cruise last spring When in Rome! Over looking the Rhine river in Germany Tramp and I at a horse show, this was our best class :) | |

| i wanna play too! My name is Fine Xample, but mostly everyone calls me Finley, or Fin. I was brought up in a busy stable, my mom's name was Bio Allie, and my Dad was N Xample. From day 1 they had high hopes of me, and I was in serious training in 2008 as a two year old. I used to race other horses, pulling a man in a cart behind me. Damn I was fast. I trained too hard tho (must be too competitive i guess...) and would get a sore shoulder and be put off my game. My owner at the time, David, tried everything, to see if he could fix me. Then he finally gave up when a good friend had asked about any free horses for his grandson's new girlfriend, looking for a saddle horse. They picked me up in Kensington, and I put on a pretty good show (im impressive looking if you didnt already know...), the took me to a large building, with a fancy stall, where i was given some needles, then woke up pretty groggy... These same people picked me up, brought me to a farm in the country, and I finally relaxed into being a horse. I guess I had retired. A week or so later, I was joined by my half-sister (same age) Just in Fair Twist - Twister/Twist for short. Before I went to be a trail horse We went to work as trail horses for one summer, but werent invited back... The trail horses didnt want me to be the boss, and I was obviously the most masculine and best looking... we fought a lot... Now we live outside for the summer, with a little red-headed pony, who does all sorts of fancy things as a saddle horse. Maybe one day I could do all that too... But for now, Im a good trail horse :) This is me now, David saw this picture and was very happy, I've really grown in to my legs! I used to be tall and lanky, now im a solidly built horse. | |
