edit data

I have a BS in Animal Science, with a minor in Wildlife Biology ('78) and a Master's in Agricultural Education, with a concentration in Therapeutic riding ('06), both from Clemson University. After teaching 31 years in middle school science, high school food science and livestock production, I retired to help my husband on our family's cattle farm. I've had a lifelong interest in horses, Indigenous culture and teaching.

Today, we live on the family farm, raising Angus cattle. I spend my spare time caring for seven horses, a three-legged dog and lots of barn cats. I collect Pine Ridge Pottery, ledger art and turquoise jewelry, and I hope to write another historical novel soon - or, maybe a modern story about life on the family farm. www.jstan ...more

A little Air BnB in the country with a screened in porch and a glass of wine is always nice, but a walk to the barn with my dogs, a few minutes watching the ducks hunt for insects behind the barn or watching one of the barn cats take a leisurely stroll along the top board of my round pen work as well. The best is the sound of rain hammering on the metal roof while I sit underneath listening to the horses munch hay.....those are all inspirational. (less)
