Lynda was born loving horses. I can not remember a time that I was not in love with horses.  As a little girl, living across the street from a farm, they would borrow the draft horses to pull the plow for the corn fields, I always went with the girl to get the horses and would beg to ride one of them home.

My father being in the Army took us away from our home in Illinois. When I was 10 living in Augusta Ga I began to ride weekly at Forest Acres Riding Stable with a school mate friend. At 16 my mother purchased a horse from that stable I had been riding. Then my parents divorced and I went to live with my Dad here in Columbus Ga. The Fort Benning Hunt Club is where many great horse experiences began to happen. We had a great group of riders there. With the arrival of Tuke’ Shoemaker all sorts of things happen at the hunt club. A Pony Club was started; we began to go Fox Hunting at Midland Ga. Thanks to this woman, Tuke', my horse knowledge grew. Tuke is like a mother to me and she is still an active horsewoman in Texas. 

Because of Tuke’ I experienced show jumping, and fox hunting. She got me a job teaching beginning riding at Claymore Plantation. It's no longer here, but what a wonderful experience. My little horse Whether Or Not  took me through all sorts of adventures. He was diagnosed with a terminal disease of bone nucroious and I finally gave him to Auburn University Vet School for research. By that time I was going to college and getting married and horses were temporarily put aside. 

In 1972 I was offered another job teaching riding at Meadowbrook Riding Stables on Macon Road in Columbus, Ga . I was there a couple of years and decided I didn’t really want to stay in the teaching business. While I was there I taught a horseback riding PE class for Columbus College and made a very good friend whose parents purchased a horse for her. She moved over to Midland Riding Center and there I began to ride again. The Midland Foxhounds are some of the best in the world and I feel very honored to have hunted with Mr. Ben Hardaway and Dr. Jack Hughston. Check it out www.midlandfoxhounds.com

Then my husband and I moved for a while and I was away from horses again. I never could afford to buy a horse and pay for the stabling every month so I was horseless for quite some time. Then in 1989 the new man in my life wanted a horse so badly. We ended up getting a little fellah (Rusty)very similar to my first horse Whether. And then along came my current mare. JUNEBUG.  
Junebug was a gift from a dear friend.  Anyway, I always had made horses to ride, never trained a horse. As Junebug got older and more of a horse than me the problems began. That’s when I found Pat Parelli  Junebug and I are now on a wonderful adventure of love and understanding. I don't want to foxhunt again, so our goal is to ride on the hound walks. That is when the young hounds are taken out for training. We are on our way.            Lynda Rose
