Born into this world by horse enthusiasts G&Gyank.JPG (26031 bytes), I am 58 years old and am recently widowed.  I currently live with my four-footed and winged family within the security controlled confines of my ranch in Shadow Hills, California. 

For the first time in my life I can do all of the things that I have longed to do.

Since the early 1960's I lived in Granada Hills, California.  It was there that I raised my children.  The devastation of the 1994 Northridge earthquake forced me to uproot and relocate everything that I knew to be my life.  Through optimistic eyes, that earthquake did me a great favor.  The wheels were set in motion to begin fulfilling my lifelong dream of becoming one with nature.

I relocated and moved to a less populated area.  I moved to the small horse community of Rural Sun Valley (Stonehurst) / Shadow Hills, (located between Sunland and Sun Valley), in the East San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles County, Southern California.  Rural life provided me with a whole different perspective of what life had to offer me.

Shadow Hills' nearest commercial airport is in the town of Burbank, California and is a very short drive from my ranch.

Walk’n Y Ranch itself covers one-half of an acre.  The lot shape is narrow across the street and runs deep back towards the barns.

Pretty things make Walk'n Y Ranch "Home Sweet Home"

The house is an older remodeled little river rock house. It was built by the Indians who worked the quarry in 1923.  The Indians lived in the neighborhood houses which cover approximately a six block radius surrounding the Walk'n "Y" Ranch.  When their work was done they sold the houses for $1,800.00.  That price included a Model T Ford and furniture.
