My Story
My story all started when I was 12. Several of my friends had joined a local pony club so I decided to join. I think my parents thought that it was just a "phase," however the horse bug caught me, and I have been hooked on horses ever since. It took a lot of begging to get my first horse but finally my parents gave in when I was 15 with the thought that I would be more interested in horses then boys during my teenage years and they were 100% correct as I would rather spend my days with my horse than any boy.
In Pony Club I was able to achieve the HB rating which is a national rating that covers topics like nutrition, vet care, anatomy, shoeing, etc. I also competed in Regional and National rallies several years. I am still a member of Boskydell Pony Club and plan on achieving more ratings as well as help with teaching the younger members.
I graduated college with a degree in Business Administration. I chose this because I knew I always wanted to start my own business. For a while I worked in the accounting field but learned that this field was not a permanent place for me to stay career wise. I felt like God created me for more than sitting at a desk. I needed to have a career where I felt like I was helping people. So, in 2024 I decided to launch Lydibug's Therapeutic Farm and give beginner riding lessons as well as start a Stable Moments program designed for adopted and fostered kids.
In 2026 I change that name from Lydibug's Therapeutic Farm to Rose Carter Farm after my two children.
My ultimate goal is to own my farm one day where students can come and learn how to take care of different kinds of animals. At the same time, the animals would help students to find peace and healing in their lives. I want my main focus to be for those in foster care. However, we will be open to try and serve anyone in our community.
I believe that God created animals to heal things in people that other humans broke and I would like to share my passion of animals and nuturing with others.
