Welcome to My Life on the Prairie!!

The Prairie House Primitives
Hi there, glad you can stop by for a visit! I am Jennifer...I was born and raised in the beautiful horse country of Northern Virginia where I lived to show my horses! I have done hunter/jumpers, steeplechase, 3 day eventing and flat track racing! Then on a bit of a whim I moved to Jackson,Wyoming to run the horse operation on a working cattle ranch and fell in love with the west and my husband, Jason. Now we live in Colorado with our 11 year old daughter, Riley. We have 10 acres here on the high prairie of Eastern Colorado. Our home is also home to our many furry friends...3 Quarter Horses, 1 fabulously cute miniature horse, 5 dogs, 3 kitties, 16 fine laying hens, one ridiculous rooster,12 Nigerian Dwarf goats and 2 Pygmies. Riley is a 4h member and we also take our little herd to goat shows both in Colorado and beyond!!! Once they start producing milk we are going to learn how to make soap and goat cheese! Aside from tending the farm and homeschooling, Jason and I make early style primitive furniture in our little red barn on the weekends. Life on the prairie is pretty simple but never dull!

My Two Cutie Pies!!!


We had another horse show this past Sunday...i didnt take nearly as many pictures as i should have cause it was just so darn hot but i did manage a few!!! Despite the sweat rolling down her face Riley did really well...she got two first place ribbons, a second and a third!
Ya'll have no idea how much i love this little horse...yes okay maybe its an addiction. SOmetimes i wish i had magical powers and i could be eleven again and show her myself!!!


Next weekend is the County Fair! Go Riley and Pippy!!!!

Beautiful little horse! Sometime you'll have to share a video or tell us what Riley does in her classes, is it like a halter class, or showmanship?
