“There’s nothing better than riding a fine horse in a new country.” – Gus McRae in Lonesome Dove The end of September we went back to my husband’s hometown of Jordan, Montana to help some neighbors trail their yearling heifers out of the rough Missouri River breaks back to their winter pasture. Most people think […]

After a little wheeling and dealing, my son and his Grandpa Rooster, negotiated a pony riding deal. They sealed their contract with a handshake and we brought home a Shetland. Joe is a gentle pony, a bit of an easy keeper, who needs experience and exercise. He is also my 9-year-old son’s first project horse. […]

While riding a young horse one summer, I had one of those lightbulb moments- a moment that reinforced what I have learned and what I know to be true about riding horses. Those can happen daily if we listen and are in a learning frame of mind each and every time we are in the […]

We were sorting pairs to ship home one fall when a gentlemen helped us. He was riding a fat sorrel mare, who tried her darndest to buck him off all the way to the pasture. By buck, I mean she may have caught one inch of air under her hooves as she attempted to heave […]
