Who's writing?

Hi! I'm mom, the "narrator." I grew up in BXL, Belgium and lived in BIG CITIES my whole life (BXL, Amsterdam and San Francisco) before moving to Indianapolis, IN. With English as a third language, the "horse language" is a fourth that I speak at toddler level by now -so I tag my husband in (who grew up playing soccer here in Indiana,) when it comes to helping her figure out the rule book and regulations. I resort to contributing and supporting her in the ways that I know best. Having majored in the arts, I used to build websites to make ends meet and have always loved photography, so documenting her journey is one of those contributions along with chauffeuring, sponsoring, providing horsies with treats, mucking, grooming and being her biggest fan. GO SAM!

Mom: Deborah Jacobs & dad: Alan Leerkamp.

Mom & dad trying to figure this horse thing out!!

This beautiful (crazy) journey...

Little did we know a birthday GROUPON gift for her 8th birthday (to horseback lessons at Canterbury stables, Zionsville IN) could - and would-  literally change the mapping of our lives as a family so significantly... Feeling blessed (most days;)
