Hollywoods Bandit had a rough start to life. He is as sweet as he is beautiful and his future looks bright… but it was uncertain in the beginning. It was a warm spring morning on June 3rd, 2014. We had no idea of the emotional rollercoaster we were about to be on. During the foaling […]

Correct The Wallering Colt

I don’t know about you, but I can’t inspire my child to put his toys away with constant nagging.  I nag, nag, nag, and nag, all the while never receiving my desired response.  Finally, exasperated I give up and put the toys away myself.  Phew, the chore is done.  But has my child actually learned […]

The weather here has been gorgeous for August. We’ve had daytime temps in the 60s! Yes, I said 60s.  And the skies, the South Dakota Skies have been amazing. As I write this, it’s currently 50 degrees. Yes, I said Fifty. Now that I’m back from nearly 5 weeks on the road, I’m catching up […]

Spend enough time with horses, and they become a part of you. The horsehair, the sweat, their smell-  it covers the body and fills the soul. Just like a drug, it only takes one encounter to become hooked for life. There have been so many horses that have left their footprints on my heart. Horses […]

Until Hay Nets… as I unloaded my horses from my trailer, I found piles of hay under their feet, in-between their legs and all soaked in their urine and manure…unusable except for bedding and a mess to […]

The following is one of those “just my opinion” pieces, so don’t get your tail in a crack over it if it hits a little close to the target. With that said, here goes. I follow many sites on the internet, both on Facebook and other sources. Most of those sites have something to do […]

I think anyone that has ever owned a horse has been there; that moment that some “horse person” (as my dad likes to call them) has to ask how your horse is bred. Not that there is anything wrong with it; indeed good bloodlines do make a difference when picking out the right horse. Even […]

Scenes From My Life

I realize I may be biased, but I’m fairly certain that I live in the prettiest place on earth. Second only to the high desert. I know, I’m weird. I’m in love with the tall grass prairie, but find beauty in Joshua Trees, yucca plants, saguaro cacti, and sagebrush. But, seriously. If you follow me […]
