I'm a freelance editor and writer, and I've been riding and taking care of horses for eighteen years. My current equine partners are a 16.3-hand 8-year-old Thoroughbred gelding named Curious George (George) and a 16-hand 7-year-old Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse cross named R. P. McMurphy (Beamer). My husband Jason and I also have a German Shorthaired Pointer named Mojo and a cat named Mitten.
