As I mentioned on our home page my name is Claire. My husband David and I have been together since 1991. We married in 1998 while in the process of buying Shotgun Ranch. We each have 2 sons from a previous marriage.
David, although born in Iowa was raised in Arizona. After his stint in the Navy, he began driving gasoline tankers. He has been hauling gasoline and diesel fuel for most of his life (an occupation which still makes me nervous). David is an easygoing, handsome cowboy-type kind of guy. He shares my love of animals. He likes to play the guitar and ride horses in his spare time. David has a wonderful sense of humor and he is one of the most honest people you'll ever meet. I love to tease him because he is truly incapable of telling even a little white lie.
I spent my childhood in Cuba, Spain and Mexico City. My life-long love of horses flourished in Spain where I took riding lessons from a retired Spanish Army Colonel. My father bought me my first horse when I was eleven. I graduated from high school in Mexico City and attended nursing school in Phoenix. In the early nineties I also attained a bachelor degree in Health Care and Management. I retired in 2002 for health reasons from a nursing career that spanned 32 years. I love music and my tastes include flamenco, salsa, light rock and blues. I often ride our horses to music. Our home is decorated with my own dreamcatchers and paintings. I also like to write and have published several articles.
I consider myself very fortunate to have shared most of my life with the most noble and majestic creatures in nature.... horses.
