There is something to be said for the unkind horses. The horses that you want to be good, but everytime you go to swing a leg up, you can’t help, but wish you were anywhere else in the world. Now I’m not talking about the broncs of this world, because believe me when I say, […]

Hey Cavvy Savvy readers! I wanted to share my most recent working horse experience. This filly is Puma’s Grand Finale, named for being her mother’s last foal as she was orphaned not long after this photo was taken in 2014.
