"Well, the first thing everyone seems to notice is how tall I am. Which I really don't get, because I knew guys who were taller than me on my basketball team back home. But whatever. The next thing people tend to say is that I have these really amazing blue eyes, which, again, I don't get. Brown or green probably would have looked better with the weird sandy hair color. Other than that, the noticeable things, I guess I'm in pretty good shape. Not buff or anything, but I can bench press like, 200 or something, which isn't that much. Um, I guess my abs are pretty toned. No six pack or anything, but yeah, I work out. And work. So I guess...yeah. I'm pretty average, I think."

-- * HISTORY.
Drew grew up with just his dad. It was the two of them, against the world, so to speak. He was born, basically of a one night stand, and as soon as he was born, his mother dumped him off on Ty. He took his father's last and lived with him at his cattle operation in Montana. The two of them were extremely close, for father and son. It came partly from that "us against the world attitude." His dad ran the ranch, more or less by himself, except for his foreman and two other ranch hands. They ran just under a thousand head of cattle and a hundred head of registered American Quarter Horses and American Paints.

By the time he was 10, he had taken on a lot of responsibilities as far as chores around the house and barnyard. He was the 10 year old going on about 25, very down to earth and responsible. Also by that time his little half sister, Tammy had been coming around for a while. At the time, he didn't like her much. Of course he didn't. She was a girl. An annoying, ugly, cootie-filled girl. Yuck. Who did like those?!

But she insisted on coming back, consistently every summer. Her third summer around the ranch, Drew finally talked her into riding a horse. It was an old ranch pony named Delilah who was fat and lazy as all get out and was also extremely barn sour. At least Tammy was a little more bearable when she was on horseback. At least they had something in common.

As the years past, they grew closer, more like a brother and sister than just awkward strangers. Drew struggled to understand her city life, and found himself mourning her loss when her father died, found himself angry on her behalf when their mom's new boyfriend moved in. More than anything else he just wanted to bring her out to Montana to live with him and his dad. He knew how much she had enjoyed her summers there, and it had to be better than what was happening then.

Of course, life went on outside Tammy, his own life. School was a constant. He wasn't an especially attentive student, and he did the bare minimum. He scraped by with mostly B's and the A or C here and there. He was also an avid basketball player, which kept him busy during the winter months when he couldn't be riding and training and such thanks to winter weather. He was starting his sophomore year, and by junior year he was one of the star players, by far the strongest post the team had. He was also a good ball handler and could play guard when it was needed. His team went to state tournaments his sophomore, junior, and senior years, although the best they ever did was a fourth in 11th grade. Still, it was fun.

He never got in to the partying the way the rest of the team did, though. No alcohol, no drugs, ever. He hasn't even been tipsy. He was the good boy, and he had too much to do around the ranch to get caught up in anything bad. During the Spring, Summer, and Autumn, he was riding and training and helping with the cattle.

By the time he graduated, he was ready to get out of that town for a while. It took a while to get everything together, but eventually he ended up in Kadin, Kentucky, and it wasn't long before Tammy was following him.

[Pixel]

Name: Pixie
Age: 2
Breed: Australian Shepherd cross
Personality: Pix is a bit of a nutcase. She runs around like a mad woman if she's cooped up too long, and will tear things apart if you leave her alone. However, she is a terrific cow dog (Drew isn't sure hat he's going to do with her while he's here or if he'll have to send her home to Montana) and she loves to have a job. She's never been a sit there do nothing sort. She is deathly loyal to Drew, though, and pretty much loves whatever and whoever Drew loves. As well as hates who Drew hates. No matter how hard he tries to keep it hidden, Pixie always gives it away if he doesn't like someone, because she'll go crazy around them. However, she's a really god dog.
History: Pixie is one of those puppy mill dogs, only she wasn't a purebred. She was a complete accident. Of course, the mill owner was going to drown the puppies or something, because they were worthless, but Drew took them and basically hand nursed them. He managed to give away all of the other 5 puppies, but he kept Pixie for himself, and she's been with him ever since.

Registered Name: Dynamite Spook
Barn Name: Mostly T (like TNT) but sometimes they call him Spook
Age: Six
Breed: American Paint
Gender: Stallion
Temperament: T is about as sweet a stallion as you can find. Drew would trust him with basically anyone, because he's such a quiet, easy going, willing horse. He does fantastic at anything you use him for, from reining to cutting to roping, to ponying snobby colts. He can pretty much do it all, and all with a good attitude. He loves work. and of course, he loves mares, and has already proven himself as a fairly good sire, with a crop of two 2 year olds, one of which Drew brought to Kentucky with him.
History: T was bought at auction as an ugly weanling. He truly was the ugly duckling. He was so matted with filth that you couldn't tell what a beautiful grullo paint he was, and he hadn't yet grown into his legs. Not to mention he was a midget. But something pulled Drew to him. Maybe the fact that he was black with mud and his ribs showed and he was still prancing with ears pricked and a high stepping trot. He's been with Drew ever since.

Registered Name: Spooky Alamea
Barn Name: Alamea, or Mia
Age: Three
Breed: American Paint
Temperament: Mia is extremely quiet and quite lazy, however she perks up occasionally, when she likes whatever it is she's doing. She has a thing for water, especially swimming or wading or whatever. It's like, her favorite thing ever, seconded only by sweet feed and apples. She has a very sweet nature, tending to love just about anyone she meets, especially if they come bearing something good, like a toy for her stall or some sort of treat...Or a water bucket.
History: Alamea was the first filly sired by Drew's stallion Dynamate Spook. Shew as out of a crochety old black tobiano mare, but she got her father's easy going, sweet temperament. Of course, Drew claimed her straight off and she's been his quite devoted partner ever since, although his sister rides her pretty frequently when she's around.
