An introduction

Hi! This blog is about me and my horse, Keep the Faith, or Faith for short. She's a 13 year old, half-Arabian half-Saddlebred mare. I've owned her since she was 3 and my sister broke her to ride at Tierra Farms in Chandler, AZ. Since then we've moved to Tucson, AZ where I board her at Foothills Stables off the Rillito river. Currently we are doing competitive trail riding and will soon try our luck at eventing! I have been taking jumping lessons for about the past 4-5 years with Susan Ziemak at Bel-Air Farms in Tucson. My name is Julie and I am 24 and a graphic designer for TheHomeMag. I basically work so I can afford my horse addiction. This blog will follow Faith and I as we learn about each other and riding and everything that can go right and horribly wrong in the equine world. I hope that my experiences will help others and provide some insight into what it's like to own a horse.
