Frederick (Rick) was born and raised in Italy. He didn't start with horses before his teen year. Being a bit spoiled, he got any horse he wanted, and trained at any stable his family money could get him into. He met Angela at a big Horse related event, and immediately fell for her "charm" as he always says never having talked to her. But Angela didn't want anything to do with him. She didn't care for his playboy and "know it all" attitude. Rick had to get her, not an easy thing to do.
He soon learned, that he would never get her, but he could actually learn something from her. Her way with horses, was very different from his. Soon he took lessons from her, changing his methods and way of thinking. That is how he earned her respect and after that her love. He didn't hesitate to ask for her hand, as he would never want to be without this strong, smart and empathic woman. Note: His Mamma wasn't happy when he up and left Italy with the love of his live.
