Handling the feet of your horse seems to be one thing that perplexes many horse owners. Often people will leave that job to their farrier. I’m glad I’m not a farrier, but I am able and willing to pick up the feet of a horse. You too can learn to pick up the feet of […]

Horses and cattle swat at flies, their tails never resting. Cowboys reset their horses, to get the least bother on their cows during the sort. Some come. Some go. Stories are swapped. Memories made.

“Ride the horse you throw a leg over today. Not the one you rode yesterday.” Those were the words of wisdom shared with me by my other half this past weekend as I went to get my horse ready for our last run. He’s right. Today is different. You’ve hopefully improved yourself since yesterday and […]
