About Me
I was diagnosed with ms in 2006, but can look back and see symptoms in Jr. High. I have ridden horses since grade school and use my riding to help with my ms. I am married with an 8 year old daughter. We are blessed to be living on an acerage with our 3 horses, my daughter's old pony, 2 cats, 6 laying hens and a rooster and 3 ducks. I ride as much as I can and am working to get back the abilities I lost when my ms hit me in '06. I show still - at a much lower level than I used to, and do a lot of trail riding. I just found this group and am seeing it is mainly for depression. That I have struggled with also. :-)Ridng and having all the animals around has also helped with that.
