Angela on her horse...Fritz

Kiate

My name is Angela and I am a huge fan of The Young Riders. I have loved the show since it first came on. My favorite character is Lou. She was my role model! Lou was brave, strong, and gutsy. She wasn’t afraid to face dangerous obstacles. That’s something I have always admired about her character.

When the show was on, I used to write to the riders all the time. I received autographs from Gregg, Travis, and a very personal one from Anthony. I treasure these items along with the other material I have on The Young Riders. I collected all the articles I could find on the crew. I still do!

This show was very touching and so is the fan fiction! The websites dedicated to the show are wonderful! To all the folks running those delightful pages, Good Job!!!! I was motivated to write my first story by all the great stories I have read about The Young Riders. I haven’t read one I didn’t like! I have written three stories so far. Love’s Engagement, Valentine Surprises, and For My Love. Although I haven’t got a lot of feed back on these stories, I still enjoying writing. I would like to thank those who have though dropped me a note. Thanks Kirsten, Joanna, Kathleen, Mette, and Madison. I’m glad you liked them.

Besides writing, I am also very interested in horses. I love galloping through the pastures! (By the way, I live in Iowa). I have also participated in 4-H horse shows. The county shows are a lot of fun! I have always placed in at least three events I was entered in. Now that I’m out of high school, I don’t show anymore. However, I do coach my younger sister since she is still in the showing scene.

I also love to draw horses! I’m not too bad at it! I have a scrap book with all my drawings in it. Sometimes I look at it and laugh because a horse’s legs are too long or something. They’re really cute!

Another hobby of mine is singing. I love to sing, which is why I signed up for chorus when I was in high school. I’m twenty now and attending college. I always sing along with the radio. Luckily I have broad music taste. I like anything from alternate to country to rock. My favorite singer is Sheryl Crow. I’m always singing along to her songs.

The American Civil War interests me. Native American legends also capture my attention, along with America’s wild west days. I think 1840-1890 is the most intriguing time period.

I’m left handed! My uncle seems to think that should make me better at sports (don’t ask me why! I’m a clutz!). I’m also a runt. My friends call me Mig (for Midget). I’m barely five foot, but that doesn’t bother me. Well almost never. Sometimes when I can’t reach something high on a store’s shelf, I’m pretty annoyed. I have brownish-blonde hair and my eye color is debatable! Some people say green while others say blue! Go figure! That’s a quick over view of my life. Ride safe everyone!
