God forbid that I go to any heaven where there are no horses.”

About
As a young girl, Amelita would secret herself in her bedroom closet with Volume H of the encyclopedia. Enchanted by the magnificent creatures that galloped through the page, stirring her soul. Contrary to the family tradition of a medical career, Amelita followed her lyrical nature into the performing-arts. Her fantasies were supplanted by the realities of a career until one cold February morning, many years and a thousand miles from her childhood; a neighbor in casual conversation invited her to go riding with her.
Dreams and reality converged into the one perfect God moment as her friend introduced her to a horse she would ride that day; Bandits’s LadyBug. Within six months LadyBug would be hers and Amelita was on her way to her own stable. LadyBug became Amelita’s angel through personal and professional challenges, brightening the dark, refreshing her spirit, and giving her courage to preserve and turn personal tragedy into a trophy of success.
