A horse’s eye tells his story…where there is a soft look, he is content and light to handle, and his feet move easily and evenly.

I’ve heard it said that you don’t know what true fear is until you’ve been chased down by a mad mama cow. I do know, however, that according to the boys, most of the time they’re just bluffing. My experience, so far, has been that most of the time, the mama cows ARE bluffing. A […]
