Want To Know More? C:

Hi there!

The name's Leo, but in real life, Shannon. I have three horses, one which is mine, Gidget. Her registered name is Golden Girl Twist. She's a quarter horse, as is her daughter, which was born on our ranch, Forever Frosty Girl. We also have a Percheron, named Midnight. We have one miniature Jersey, Buttercup. Unfortunately, we lost Emmy in December. D8 Anyway, DON'T YOU DARE SAY THEY AREN'T ACTUAL JERSEYS, THEY ARE THE ORIGINALS!!!

Anyway. I love my horse, and we were competing for the first time at the State 4-H Horse Expo last year. This year my goal is to place in the top ten at State in my trail class and western pleasure, and I want to compete in showmanship. Gidget has come so far, from being green broke and the rider having to choose whether to lope or to steer, to doing flying lead changes and carrying a flag and competing at state level.

Well, as you've probably figured, I'm a horse girl. And horsewoman and a country girl. I love country music, Carrie Underwood especially and I also like Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, and Hunter Hayes. I'm super duper busy; I am on my county 4-H drill team, I'm a youth leader for horse camp, I'm chairman of my 4-H junior horse key committee, I'm on the regular horse key committee, I'm FFA secretary, I'm also western delegate for my 4-H older youth group; I also am going on (and planning) a trip to Colorado with a few others from 4-H; I also am in show choir and I perform at church. I also manage to keep a 4.0 GPA while balancing everything else. c;

Well, that's me. A total horse girl. Remember these things, and you'll never go wrong with me:

- Boys are overrated. Horses aren't.
- Some girls want Abercrombie, all I want are my Ariats.
- He may knock a barrel, but he won't break my heart <3

I wish: I had more hours in a day to get everything I want done.
I am: so very lucky to have the life I do. It may be busy and crazy and I'm insane to be living it, but I love every single moment of it and would trade it for absolutely nothing. I may struggle at times, but I know in my heart that there is absolutely no other place for me to be.
My heart is: beating at a steady pace.
Birthplace: Newport Beach, California.

Overused Phrase: I don't really have one. I laugh a lot. <3

Tell me it cannot be done and I will do it. Tell me the goal is too high and I will reach it. Place an obstacle in front of me and I will soar over it.

Challenge me, dare me, even defy me, but do NOT understimate me; for on the back of a horse, anything is possible.
