I’m an artist and horse lover. My main job involves rehabbing and caring for special needs horses, while doing art and photography on the side. I also run a few websites focused on caring for special needs horses and more to help others.
I suffer from chronic Lyme. I spent many years seeking help for my various health issues, but couldn’t find relief until I started researching and treating myself through herbs and lifestyle changes. I share my research and experiences at creativeherbals.com, and my research and experiences on maintaining muscle disorder and neurological horses on pssmhorses.com.
I share my artworks and give free demonstrations to help other artists on my website horseart.net. I do WordPress work for select clients from my website jenpratt.com. Read more about Jen.
