New Thing #4

It’s amazing how many training opportunities there continues to be with horses and endurance. Occasionally, at a foul weather ride, I’ve considered putting Farley inside the trailer to keep her warmer and dryer. I’ve always decided not to because I don’t usually ask her to spend long hours in the trailer just standing. I […] more

Note: Some time ago, Laura Crum and her publisher made an offer to fellow bloggers with active horse blogs – if we would review Crum’s latest book – Going, Gone – we could have an advanced copy to review. Whoo hoo! Below are my thoughts. It’s refreshing to read a fiction horse book written […] more
