Dare I say it? I hold my breath as I do. Spring is coming!! The fruit trees are budding. Birds are singing. Renewal is on its way. It happens every year right about this time, yet still seems fresh and new. My horse knows too. She is shedding. I am brushing huge chunks of long [...]

The spring planting season is just around the corner. My husband and I will make our yearly journey down to the local farm and garden store to purchase our seeds and plant starts. We will buy onion starts. They will be tender, young and green. Once safely in the dirt these little small sprigs of [...]

I watched the movie “The Help” last night. It is set in the deep south of racist Mississippi in the 1940’s. There is a scene in the movie that resonated with me. Miss Hilley – a Southern Belle, tight hair, tight lips, Deep South Mississippi woman, is as racist as they come. She lives in [...]

I read a wonderful quote years ago while doing research for a paper in college: “Being forced is poison for the soul” (author unknown). That phrase has stayed with me, ticking around in the back of my mind since then. I applied it to my life and thought back to the times I felt forced [...]

We had our first major snow fall in the state I call home. It was a sudden dumping of about a foot of beautiful fluffy white powder. The air was so cold and dry that the snow stayed like loose sugar. It covered the hills surrounding the ranch where I keep my mare, leaving only [...]

We covered topics such as how our relationships were going with those big hairy beasts we live with (both the 2 legged and the 4 legged), the changing shape of our behinds as we “gulp” [...]

Today I had a day off from my busy retail job. I spent the day recharging my internal batteries, baking cookies, doing laundry and loving on my little black dog. I found myself pondering “What is really important in life?” Big question this time of year. My thoughts drifted to ideas of universal love, generosity, [...]

Under Divine Cowgirl+ Horse+ Relationship
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 [...]

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 [...]
