Greetings my humans! As previously stated, my...um, ahum, handler Tara notes my size to be a very stately 27" at the top of my shoulder. And to all the pretty fillies out there, yes, I am a complete package. Now, I must agree with my humans, I love children. I'm very elated that my Mom has discovered my true joy. Don't get me wrong, I love to strut my stuff in the showring, but now she has given me the opportunity to expand my exciting career. I find nothing more fun than lacing up my tennis shoes, complete with fashionable red laces, and traveling to different kids events. Heck, I even adore a trip to Petsmart once and a while. The fish section keeps me mesmorized for hours. But my favorite thing is to let all those kids run their little hands across my back. Hey even a horse enjoys back rubs. Life is good.
Bonjour to my human subjects. Excuse me while I flip my luxurios mane. My name is Aupollo and I'm a pure bred Arabian Gelding. While most of my time is spent basking in the California sun and prancing abou tin the show ring, I do ocassionally carry on a conversation with my little Brother Leo. He's told me about his new job and I must admit, I'm a bit jealous about the back rubs. But I really admire the young little dude's ambition to make kids happy. Well, I'm off to prepare for my next appearance. So much to do....need to get my hair done, my hooves polished & get ready to flash my irresistable smile for the Judges. Love you all!

Howdy, Let me start off my telling you that I have two fulltime jobs. One that pays the bills and one that fills my heart with happiness. Since those bills simply must get paid, I have a very challenging job working for the State. The DMV to be exact. Now be nice and have mercy on those poor employees. It's a truly tough job, but Thankfully my fun co-workers help relieve some of the stress. Being a State employee is just my day job. My real job is an average, everyday, run of the mill, devoted, true blue...horse lover. I've adored these glorious creatures all my life and can't think of a whole lot I'd rather be doing than riding, photographing, exhibiting and sharing them with everyone.
Hi, I'm the Mama. I work at the Boeing Company in Long Beach, CA. I inspect the C-17 Cargo plane. It's a challenging job, but unlike Tara's job-my biggest challenge is the 52 mile journey to work. But it's all worth it, just to be able to come home to the boys Aupollo and Leo. I'm the morning "Apple Granny". And believe me, if they don't get their apples, I hear about it from them! Yup, spoiled. But what's a good Granny to do? That's my job. And, oh yeah, I'm the photographer. I love it! Those kids light me up. Welcome to a big part of our world.
