I haven’t the words to express my gratitude toward my amazing barn family!

First, Krista went to the farm every single day (including hurricane day) to make sure that our barn cats were fed and kept indoors safe from the storm.
Her amazing husband, Rob, installed the generator and made sure that it was running for us when we got back to the farm.
Thank you Bonnie, she cleaned up the barn and organized all of the equipment that had been stored prior to the storm (even after working her night shift) 💤
I also want to thank my incredible barn family for showing up in numbers... Dads, Moms, brothers, sisters and even my tiniest littles joined in to help, working their tails off to make our barn, pastures, and arenas safe for the horses.
Even Jean, my best sweetie ever, caught a last minute flight from Montreal and flew down like a superhero 🦸‍♂️ to help manage the mess.
Last but certainly not least, My Olivia and Ella are always there to help me make the sweetest lemonade out of the sourest lemons. I love you both, thank you for being the best partners (evacuees) in crime.

When I am asked why I chose this life, I immediately think of these wonderful people. They are my tribe & my chosen family; without them none of this would be possible.
