Hello. My name is Allison Nicole. I am eighteen years-old and I live in sunny California.  I'm a senior in highschool and I spend 99.9 1/2 percent of my life at the barn. That, there, is my silly bay pony... Also known as Cricket. She is a 15.2 hand, seven year-old  bay Appendix mare, and has been apart of my life for two years. I have been riding for ten, and I used to show Hunt Seat and Western Pleasure, but have long since been over the politics of the show ring. Now I train horses and teach lessons.

I'm a pretty agreeable person. I'm goofy and a little bit retarded. My horse and my job is my life, so I rarely poke my head out of the barn. I'm aspring to be a large animal vet, specializing in Equine Medicine and I love school very much. I'm pretty nerdy and I like being correct... Which is cool because I usually am.  

My favorite color is orange... I'm sort of weird... I sing too loudly, and I'm beginning to really not care what people think of me. I like straight sticks and round circles, and when I'm bored I draw circles in the dirt. I live and breathe horses. I always have and I always will. I always come home covered in dirt and smelling like the barn, the first thing my mom says is "Leave your boots at the door..." Hahaha. 

Aside from a horse, I also have a lot of pets. I'm always bringing something home that needs help. My parents have learned that when I come home saying "How much do you love me??" That I have an animal in the car waiting to come in. I have three Dachshunds Bailey, Buster, and Gus (Lovingly called Rody Poe, Tinky Poot, and Little Fat) and a RottweilerXLabrador, Lillian (Lily for short, she's MY dog, and the perfect speciman of a canine, if I do say so myself.) I have three cats, Thomas a Siamese, Moochie a Calico, and Charlie a Tortoise Shell. Charlie and Moochie are girls and Thomas is, obviously, a boy. I rescued Charlie from my highschool agriculture department as a two day old kitten. I bottle fed her. She is, by far, the best cat ever. She is eight months old. Thomas is three years old, and Moochie is fourteen.

I have a corn snake named Cronos. He's an awesome boy and Snoopy (AKA my best friend ever) calls him her boyfriend. He's her favorite when she spends the night.

I have a female dark grey Teddy Bear hamster named Opal Marie. She is Mine and Snoopy's love child... She is very fat.

I have twelve hens, only three of them have names. Sarah, Bethany, and June Bug. Aside from them, I also have a rooster and hen breeding pair of buff Silkie Bantams. My rooster is named Hamlet, and his hen is named Ophelia. Hamlet comes when he is called, and yes he DOES crow every morning. His crow is very soft and sweet =)

I also have three goats that were my projects for FFA for my freshman, sophmore, and junior year of highschool. Their names are Louie, Lola, and Lima Bean. They currently live on a ranch in Montana and are happy, healthy pets.

Let's see... I think that's it...  On to pictures!!
