Hello & welcome to A Pink Horse Blog!
My name is Heather. I'm an Arabian & Mini Horse lover. I grew up in South Georgia and am currently residing in the Phoenix, AZ area. I own 3 purebred Arabian horses - 2 mares & a darling yearling colt. I also have a mini Palomino stallion named Tyrion. I adore all of them & my world pretty much revolves around them! In my "spare" non horse devoted time, I work in the behavioral health unit of a local hospital. You know - I have to pay the horse bills somehow! I also own 3 Chinese Shar-pei dogs and am obsessed with the color pink.
I grew up in a barn basically. I studied & trained with Norma & Steve Karst of Star K Arabians in Leesburg, GA from age 8 to 16. I rode the bus from school to the barn every day & stayed until well after dark & my parents forced me to go home. This is where my love of the Arabian horse originated. I bought my first Arabian around age 10. Her name was Loli-pop. She was a skiddish ex-barrel racer turned English Pleasure mare. That mare taught me a lot! Once I was old enough I began my "official" employment with Star K. Not long after I took a job working for David & Lorrie Mikosz who were then working for Lady Jean Ranch/LJR Elite Show Horses in Jupiter, FL. This was my first taste of the big time horse show world & I was hooked.
After leaving LJR circumstances forced horses out of my life. I've felt a huge void ever since. 15 years passed... Something had always been missing. I was incomplete. Then on July 17th 2013 I met a man named Greg Knowles who introduced me to a horse named Shamelia. My soul mate in equine form. She completely changed my life. The rest is history. Or shall I say - the beginning of an era...
