So last year I got my first adult home with a bug beautiful barn and 3 acre pasture and a little training arena. I lost it after 10 months of pure heaven living there. I spent over $50,000 on the horses last year.. I actually have to keep records and add that shit up as non-profits have to keep meticulous financial records, so prepping taxes recently I was shocked to see what my costs vs. Income actually were. So.. for this reason I lost my downtown shop last October, then my ranch, but I got a golden opportunity to save money, keep the horses fed and healthy, and move to a ranch in the redwoods. The catch being that I had to buy a mobile home, ok I'll be honest is straight up a trailer... yup. This has been a very difficult adjustment for me, as I used to have a walk in closet, a shop, then a big home studio, a barn, an arena... Moving here, I also had no place to work and no fencing or shelter for the horses. I have built the fencing, bought the shelter materials (thanks to your kind support, pledges and donations!). I am finally back to dancing and selling vintage after finding an old unfinished wood shed that I myself installed insulation, sheetrock, mudded, painted and carpeted and turned into the studio you see me dancing in now. Surprise, is only 7 feet by 12 feet. On the opposite side is my sewing machine and shelving to store dresses and fabric. I also built two metal tuffshed, one for the horse feed and tack and one for storing dresses and fabric. It's been a long, laborious setup and I often wished I knew how to give up and just be normal. My family begged me to stop the rescue and get rid of the horses. I thought I would never get the money to buy new dresses to sell and my business was over.. Your support here turned that all around and I just want to say thank you so so so much for helping me keep it together and get situated here. Im grateful for what I have and ready to rebuild!
