Hi--
I'm pattiofdarkstar
the Dark Star is our farm which we started in 1973-
I know a lot of Dark Star stuff has showed up after that!
We train horses and dogs- I am a Behaviorist so I love Fantasy- it ties in with animals being a lot more aware that most people realize...
I work w/ Service Dogs,( also have one) they are so incredible- we train them to do specific things for their handler, then the dogs go on, learn new useful stuff on their own and add it in!
My dog, Tir Na N'Ogh ( Tir) is an 85# Lurcher, he meets me at my bedside when I get up,( he's Physical Assistance), knowing that mornings are tough,he is there with out me ever having to call him.
He knows when I have good or bad days and gives me the support I need with out being in the way,( try teaching THAT to a human!?)
He's my second Service Dog, my first was a Borzoi, Wind'n'Satin Lord Calador, ( yup, "Cal"), iI had him for 13 years , he worked 12 of them and helped train his replacement, Tir. When Tir was ready, Cal was happy to hangout on the couch and let Tir take over- very wierd to have the dogs let me know how the training was going...
I Fox Hunt- (my horses also have figured out my capabilities and do what's needed), Trail Ride and still show some, our web site ( if you are interested in a lot of animal pics...) is;
www.darkstarfarm.org
Hope to meet every one here and am looking forward to great books!

My name is Swordmaid and I like swords and such things, along with otters, good books, pens, soundtracks, paper, Peanuts, horseback riding and warm fingers (mine happen to be cold at the moment, however).
Feel free to pm me if you have any questions concerning the forum, book, author, or just want to harang me for spoilers ^_^
Um, that's your trainer
