I'm a female in the US with a bunch of horses! Find me in the barn any day! I'm not too great of a cook -- oats and bran, anyone? ;) Even with 11 horses of my own and living at a stable with 60 others, along with my two buns in the oven and my wonderful boyfriend, I've got to find SOME time to learn to cook.
