In the northwestern part of Michigan, not far from the Lake Michigan shore, sits a very small town called Kaleva.  It is from this northern Michigan paradise that Mary, in the midst of a career change, was seeking the perfect job.  The formula was simple; take what you enjoy most in life and make a living doing it.  When Personal Ponies was found on the web, it fit the formula like a well worn riding boot.  Her formula read, working with children through equines.  Mary has since found that rather than bringing in money, her participation in Personal Ponies brings in much greater riches ... joy.

Majolee Farm, named after Mary and her two daughters, Jolan and Leah, was graced with the presence of Lucky Chance Buff in August of 2000.  Her husband, Jeff, who affectionately has been granted the status of PPBB (Personal Pony Barn Boy), first introduced Buff to the herd.  Since that time, many ponies have come and go as they set out to carry forth their mission.  Mary has taken on the role of State Director and will be enjoying the birth of her first Personal Ponies foal in the spring of 2003.
