There was this girl who lived in a box. It was safe and warm in there. Nothing bad ever happened in that little box world of hers, but nothing good ever happened either. It was a glass of flat pop with no fizz kind of place. She had not always lived in the box. There [...]

I had the most wonderful ride on my mare today. For the first time in 40 years I galloped bareback. That may sound silly to some, but to me it was a joyous moment. I have ran her frequently out on the trails which are our favorite place to ride, just never bareback like I [...]

For as far back in my life as I can remember I have been entranced by, in awe of and smitten by the beauty and wonder of our equine companions, whom we share space with on this fair earth. From the soft sensitive muzzle to the flowing lines of a silken tail, I find nothing [...]

It has occurred to me that spending time with my mare tends to make me a better person, a better human being. It took many years of hanging out with her to learn some valuable life lessons. That part of my education began about 7 years ago when she and I first met. At our [...]

There is so much I could say about Dillon. He was my first love, all 1000 pounds of young energy and beauty. He was the perfect horse for me. I remember how we used to run like the wind all over our pastures and down the country roads we lived on, the dust flying from [...]

I approach my beautiful dark bay mare in her pen. She knickers a soft greeting to me. I take her fly mask off, revealing her big brown eyes looking back at me. I love taking the mask off, exposing her eyes, like opening the window to her tender soul. We say our helloes. A little [...]

Let me tell you a funny story about my cat Buddy. He is a beautiful black and white tuxedo cat. One night I was relaxing in my big red recliner. I suddenly became aware of the rustling of a plastic grocery bag. I looked up and out of the corner of my eye and I [...]

Sometimes life can get pretty darn crowded. We have jobs, we have families, we have responsibilities, we have worries, we have fears, and we can get stretched out pretty thin. All these things can be good, and stuff we welcome. However, sometimes we need a little break to get away. The bubble bath in “Calgon [...]

The ranch where I board my big bay mare with the soft brown eyes has a small trail course. One of the obstacles we get to practice on is a water hazard. It’s a small 6×6 puddle in a concrete liner. The first time I tried to get my mare to cross that small puddle [...]
