"Spirit" - photo by Joanne Faulkner, October 2006

Dark Arabian spirit

Free mane flowing, flickering in the wind

Open rolling misty pastures, but he comes to me

Soul open, mind open, I wait

My heart one with the beat of the drum

The herd listens and thunders

Hooves pounding the earth, running together

Leading and following instinctively

Spirit knows no sorrow, illwill

Only graceful powerful acceptance

The ultimate love.

	I have been involved with animals my whole life, mostly with large breed dogs. I have been a breeder of Great Danes and Boxers since 1995. I now have no Boxers, and am proudly owned by a new Brussels Griffon puppy. I took a leadership/equine workshop in 2006 through Royal Roads University (Authentic Leadership) and would highly recommend it to anyone who is involved in Human Resources and loves horses - what a combination! I have worked for several small animal veterinarians, and have a keen interest in genetics, purebreds and their origins, and the wide variety of sports/leisure activities one can do with horses. I also enjoy photographing horses whenever I get the chance. My 12 yr old step daughter Kendra is also a horse-nut, and has been doing summer camps for several years. She is very calm and gentle even with difficult horses. Kendra & I now have our own horse to pamper! Dakota & his trainer - this is our new Pinto/Draft. :) Kendra and Quincy. This site is for interest only. Please enjoy. :) Last update: April 26, 2008
