My mom owns alot of small businesses.

She was a farm girl in Botswana.
Always moving around.
She said by February in 8th grade she already moved 9 times since she was 8.
It was her dream since she was 10 to have a breeding stud and riding school
Then, as she went to boarding school in Bloemfontein, 13 hours away from her current home, she dreamt more and more but always remembering how this world she lived in only demanded money. Always limiting her oppertunities, but never her imagination

So, she thought of bringing a South African 'Boere-Mark' to our farm in Wyoming to bring in extra capital for the horses.
Of course, my big brother, Aiden, helped out at the market, but horses weren't his thing. His twin sister Bloom, loved them.

Mom and Dad had the twins when Mom was 14...  I know that sounds wrong but they knew they were meant to be together.

Dad was going for an operation and Mom made him promise that if he was ever to go for an op, he'd get her pregnant before he went. She never trusted any thing to do with operations and if anything went wrong, she wanted to have him forever. Read too many books where the girls love dies I guess

So, my mom has her stud, her school, a small café for anyone who comes and then every Saturday she has the Boere-Mark. Just like she did in Bloemfontein.

She's told me it was fun walking down the street and meet up with her friends while Granny and Rosie would walk around.

At first I didn't much like having people and noise and neither did Jasmin, my horse.
But, one event changed that.
