My name's Katie,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

and I'm a farmer's girl through and through.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

In the year I turned 14,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

life was great.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

Everything was about my dad,

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

my dogs,

00:00:21 --> 00:00:22

our horses,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

life at my private school,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

and our farm.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

Our beautiful farm. Our beautiful farm.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

But then

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

everything changed,

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

and we had to try and find a

00:00:41 --> 00:00:41

new home.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

This is not home, man.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

This

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

is not

00:00:48 --> 00:00:48

home.
