Welcome to My Life on the Prairie!!

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!

A Long Time in the Making...


I have alot of ideas...they sometimes take a long time to manifest! Such is the case with this dutch door we FINALLY finished for Rileys room!!!
Since she is a bright and cheery little farm girl we thought her room should be a reflection of her. So whats better for a country girl than a barn door in her room!
Hubs made this door out of 100 year old pine so it has some great character!!!

Finally something i can cross it off my to do list!!!
