I've been coming. I've been trying to come out to the equestrian center for how long now we've been trying to do this? A couple months. I think it's been maybe three or four months.

But just to kick us off here, Dr. Nancy, tell us a little bit more about the equestrian center. Well, this is a, as you said, Southern California equestrian center. I bought this, this place probably about five years ago. I, I bought my first horse in 2012. And from there on I became all in and then I brought my own preference in. I know, I hear you. I hear you. So they're talking to us right now. The barn right now is full of the indoor and the outdoor horses. There are Arabians, half Arabians. There's a saddlebred here. There's also a warm blood here. And we also have some goats that come in and say we're united too. So, no, it's a beautiful place. We are a destination in Southern California. Yeah. We do corporate events, we do films here, we've done some filming, we've also had some weddings, and birthday parties, and we're open for all types of events right now.
