I am Sharron Ankersen from Colon, which is about 30 miles west of Omaha, Nebraska. I have had horses since I was 8 years old.
This will be my first year recording mileage. I have been keeping track of my hours though for 4 or 5 years. I have one horse named Boomer, a registered paint.
I am semi-retired and besides riding, love working with 4-H’ers in the horse and dog projects. Also love doing scrapbooking, quilting and traveling.
I enjoy camping and trail riding every weekend April through October with many special friends.
