About Myself

Me and Khun-Phan, Bang Tao, Summer 2006...

My name is Christy Sweet and am American though as an Air Force Officer's Brat, grew up all over the world. I learned to ride at the Bangkok Polo Club when it was owned by Mrs. Rhodes and spent many a day on rental ponies at Pattaya beach, bearing the squashed baby toe of a flip-flop clad rider while my father was stationed in Thailand flying fighter jets as an honorary member of The Royal Thai Air Force.

After moving to England where I continued lessons at a Banbury Cross stable, my time with horses came to an abrupt end due to the death of my father. My family and I moved immediately back to the US and settled in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.. Though I rode sporadically throughout my teens and early adulthood, horses were not part of my life.

After some real estate investments payed off I decided to move to Thailand where I could afford to board a horse and thus I came to own Lamburg.

But I could not ignore the conditions the stable provided its own horses and so I purchased ( for top money,) three more and began paying to board to ensure their care.

I believe because I complained incessantly about the conditions I witnessed, I was evicted with 4 day notice. I threatened to send pictures to every animal welfare organization and local newspaper unless I was given 30 days to find another property, so I was, but I sent the pics off anyway!

I rented a property with a small home to live in and built a stable.

I had no previous experience caring for horses other that a pony camp stint 34 years earlier. But with the help of the internet and a wonderful natural-horse care Yahoo internet discussion group, soon learned enough to provide a healthy and natural environment for the herd. I also seem to be unable to say no to needy cats and so

the property is also a sanctuary for about 20 felines. Thai cats are unusually affectionate and do not shed. Lately there are a few refugee roosters escaped from the cock-fighting neighbors.
