Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! 

My name is Izzy West, I am thirteen years old and I love horses and writing. 

My blog is all about horses, writing, and stories of my life.

A little bit about me: 

My favorite breed of horse is the Quarter Horse. I love the color bay, palomino, sorrel, and chestnut.

My favorite "rainbow" color is blue, or turquoise.

I love Susan K. Marlow's books, and the movie Secretariat.

I am fighting Hodgkin's Lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system) right now, just finishing my in-patient Round 2 of chemotherapy. I just lost all my hair, and my relationship with Jesus Christ is growing everyday with this journey. I will post updates about my life of cancer on this blog as well. And, I am open to questions, if they are polite. I might not answer all of the questions, but I will try my best.

I will also answer questions about horses and writing. I have a special character named Katelyn Reed. Most likely you'll be hearing a lot about her in the stories I write and share.

On this blog I will share my fictional writings, my journey with HL, and some stories of my life with my family. I have two sisters named Myla and Nikki, they are eight and ten. They are hilarious and I love them so much. They share stories with me that hopefully are a crack-up when I share them. 


I cannot wait to get to know you better! Enjoy!

  3. I saw your story and I will pray for you! You have a beautiful smile! I think we have a lot in common, because I love reading, writing, and horses too! I am thirteen also, and my family and I are Christians! Maybe we can be pen pals by email? I could give you my email if you want. What kind of books do you like to read and write? I mostly like historical kinds. I hope to hear back from you!

You are a very good writer and so mature. You are so brave and beautiful. Jesus' love can be seen shining in your eyes and smile. Alivia would love to read yours and share some of her stories. Are you able to attend any Christmas events? Prayers--Angie

    1. Oh, thank you so much, Ms. Angie, for everything in this beautiful comment. You brought a lump to my throat.

      I'm not sure what Christmas events you are speaking of. Are they something online or are they a public church thing?

      I'd love to email Alivia, that would be great, and I'd love to read some of her works.

      As an answer to Alivia's previous comment, I love to read horses books and Christian books of really any kind. I love to read historical fiction. I write horse books mostly. I don't think one of my started or finished books are without horses, lol

      Sincerely,
      Izzy West

  5. You are so sweet. May I share your story with some Facebook friends? I had meant if you were able to go to any church service or relatives, with your treatments? Merry Christmas! Angie
