First of all, my name is Kimley and I am from a smallish city southwest of Atlanta, Georgia. That is Georgia as in the state of Georgia in the United States of America. Not the Georgia that is a former soviet republic. Yep, I'm a southerner, southern belle, Georgia Peach, whatever. There aren't too many of us left in the Atlanta area. Most of us have retreated to either the mountains of northern Georgia (yes, Georgia has mountains) or fled the south altogether!

How I came to be in west central Georgia:

My grandparent moved to this area when my granddad retired from the Navy. He bought his mother's house and the surrounding property and made a home for Grandma and the kids. After a while, he had the place fixed up enough so that he could raise a herd of cattle on the homestead ~Black Angus cattle. These turned out to be among the first registered Angus cattle in the state. Many of today's Georgia Angus cattle carry the blood of my granddaddy's cattle!

While my father was in VietNam, my mom moved back home with her parents to keep close ties with the family. Of course, I was a youngster at the time. This situation was ideal for me because I got to spend oodles of time with my beloved grandparents. I even used to help my granddad on the farm, taking care of the ponies. (Yep, that is where I got my first exposure to horseflesh!) After the war, my father came home and we moved around the country. We went wherever he was stationed; Seattle, Quantico, etc. Anyway, after he finished his active duty, we moved back to the area and I've never really left... at least not yet.

All right, enough of the history lesson. What about now?

Jeez! Keep your shirt on! Now, I'm a 33 year old female type person, single {never married (engaged once though)}. I still live in the same area as the old homestead, but I work a lot closer to Atlanta. I do taxes in the spring and am working (on again, off again) on my Accounting degree at West Georgia College... Uh oh. Excuse me. It is the State University of West Georgia. I keep forgetting that they became a university a couple of years ago. {Well, they say that the memory is the second thing to go... I can never remember what the first is! *LOL*} Over the last couple of years, I have really gotten into computers~so much so that I have considered changing my major! *S* I have this web site, Rich Chick's Hitching Post, and a half a cajillion^*** e-mail addresses. Plus, I have started my own cyber-construction business, Kimley's Web Design and Graphics. I hang out in one of the best online horse related chat rooms around, Foster Family Horse Chat, run by our chat pal, John Foster from New Hampshire. The coolest people hang out there and I just love talking to most of them; Lanny, Digger, cricket, Tequila Lady, Betty, Hirsch, Heidi, Appajo and last, but not least, my bestest bestest buddy, Michael. *big grin* 

I own one quarter horse gelding, my baby, Count Valencort. He is officially four years old and I think he is finally both physically and mentally ready for under saddle work. Yes, I know that most horses are under saddle (being ridden) when they are two, but I tend to believe that if a horse is started too soon, he may experience several physical problems that can severely shorten his useful life. I've gone through a lot to keep this horse so he'd better be around for a long, long time! My mother owns 3 quarter horse mares that I think of as mine. These are Valencort's mother (Ginger), full sister (Breeze) and his half sister (Sajid). I sure wish I had more time in my schedule to get out to the farm more often and mess with them all more often!
