Breeding Quality Horses since June 2012                                                      Year 2, Week 29 - Summer
 
Ranch Background:
My name is Valarie Night, I own this Kennel with my Fiancee (in Game), Zac. We first started the ranch with just horses, then moved on to breeding dogs, Now we have multiple Lots. We have all the males and females separated so we do not have any surprise babies, Also we have every breed on a different lot. For example we have Siberian Husky females on one lot and Great Dane females on another.  We have different staff members for each lot, and each live on site so the animals get 24/7 care and affection!

I decided to start this ranch when I was 14 years old, I had always dreamed of owning a bunch of animals that I could see on a daily basis. I didn't really have many friends growing up because my father scared everyone away, so I spent my afternoons making friends with Wild Horses.  One day at a secluded pond a wild Appaloosa horse approached me and thats when I knew I wanted to breed Appaloosa's. He was so gentle and kind and he always came to visit me. He, like all the other horses, didn't judge me. After a month or so of teaching him to trust me He finally let me mount him, and we rode around the woods that evening, It was the most amazing thing to happen to me in a really long time.

On my 18th birthday I left home, I packed the night before so I could sneak out the moment I turned 18, I ran away to Spring Valley where I got myself a job as a bus-boy in the local restaurant. It was here I discovered that I wanted to be a Chef also, I ended up saving all of my wages so I could put myself through Culinary School. After I finished that I kept on working and saving  all the money I could. Eventually I had enough money to buy a lot that was 64 Acres long and wide. It was there I built the first stable. I traveled back home at that point to see my old friend Shadow (The appaloosa). He was still around, hanging out by the pond. I think he missed me. I hated that I abandoned him in my selfish time of need, I would go back to town weekly though to visit him and make sure he didn't forget me. I took him home with me that time, and together we started Spring Ridge Acres.

Two years later...

My family with Zac became very large and we desperately wanted to live in Indulgence Isle to raise our family and not have to worry about the horses all of the time. We found Annabelle Rhodes who was very interested in starting a Ranch of her own breeding Horses, Dogs, and Cats. She didn't have the resources at all but she had the money. I offered to sell her my ranch as long as she allowed me to stay on hand and help out with the Appaloosa's. She Happily agreed and since then has added to the ranch in such a huge way! She too, has a large family, but apparently she can manage it better then I can. In the short year she has been here, the stable has finally a system where everything is easy to find and the paperwork is all finished and sorted. The employee's actually do their job and do not slack off at all any more. Annabelle has really been a blessing.
