I live in Ramona with my husband, Geran, and my two boys Clayton (21) and Colton (18) Whitworth. I personally have lived in Ramona since 1991 and Geran and I have been married since December 1994. I was raised on a ranch in Del Mar, Ca called Mount Carmel Ranch. My younger days consisted of nothing but horses and more horses. I groomed dogs since I was 17 1/2 and retired from that 3 years ago, 2004. Horses have always been in my life, I even had a Shetland pony before I was born. My dad was a farmer/cattleman so I have had lots of horse and cattle experience. My mom would rise from the grave if I didn't tell people that at one time my dad was " Lima Bean King of San Diego County" LOL. When I was between 6 and 13 years old, I did lots of riding, trail, gymkhana, helping dad run the cattle and even quite a bit of breaking 2 year olds for many different people. At about 14, I fell in love with jumping. What an exhilarating feeling, so much control with actually so little. I was so very fortunate that my dad bought be a beautiful TB named Cristopher Robin, man could he move and he thoroughly enjoyed jumping. He would have won any English Pleasure class with no rider, if they would have allowed it LOL. After about 3 years of jumping I faded out and went back to fun riding. I realized while owning Christopher, that I missed riding a horse that would do it all, in a matter of speaking. Pond whopping on Friday after school, bathe and get ready for a show on Sunday and back to fun on Monday, working calves on Tuesday and from here I think you get the gist of my frame of mind. For the past 15 years I have had horses but only was involved with my children in Gymkhana for a couple years. 

I recently acquired a herd of pretty well bred horses and if you read "My Inspiration" Page, many of them fit her qualities. I am learning quite a bit of new information that has developed over the past 15 or so years, but a Quarter Horse is still a Quarter Horse. While starting this new venture any constructive criticism or advice is always welcomed, in my opinion that is how we learn and develop.

 My goal is to breed very versatile horses with kind and forgiving temperaments, the want of human companionship and the desire to please us, good conformation, athletic ability and if I am lucky some color.

 We also own a small country gift shop in Ramona called Ramona Country Crafts. I do many different kinds of crafting. My oldest son and husband are now attending Farrier School here in Ramona, they are due to graduate January, 2008.
