I will start with Melissa.  She is the gal who greets you so pleasantly in the morning ... rain, snow or shine ... she is always happy to see our friends arrive and catch up with the owners.  l. 

Our afternoons are staffed by the girl next door, Hannah Oxley.  She is presently attending Walpole High School and works afternoons delivering the dogs to their owners.  She also has a dog of her own named Copper.  She is seen hanging around the kennel in the afternoon waiting for her kid to come home.  Yes, you guessed it Copper is a golden retriever as well! 

Our newest member of the staff is Kristy Cook.  She has been coming to the farm since she was 9-years-old.  She has lots of spirit and keeps things alive at the farm.  Adventures with Pauline and Kristy will be our next chapter!  She is a huge animal lover and it does not matter what type.  She has been spotted running across the back lawn to go catch a snake or two!  She owns a virtual menagerie ... including 4 dogs, several cats,an iguana named Floyd, and a lizard named Spaghetti.  She teaches horse back riding lessons at Shadowfax in Millis and spends many hours of hard work there cleaning stables and exercising horses.  She is actively competing in the horse world and hopes to do working hunters next year.  Her accomplishments in horse back riding include IEA 2007 National Finals Varsity Champion.  She was also competing in junior medals until she recently gained her amateur status. Kristy has also competed in various dressage competitions, two day events, and hunter paces.

That brings us to my husband and I.  As you know I have my share of animals.  There are 4 dogs and 3 horses who call Golden Ridge Farm their home.  I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.  I myself have run across the back yard to catch snakes and frogs as a kid!  I have been training dogs and horses now for 15 years.  I have successfully competed dogs in obedience and agility.
