Besides blogging about horses and horsemanship I also am an artist. Right now I’m in the midst of a project entitled “Big Idea 10+” in which I draw a sketch that somehow builds off of the one just prior to it. Because I recently attended a clinic in which we focused on balance, energy, impulsion [...]

The Best Horse Ever. Ever.
That was the Facebook status update of a good friend of mine yesterday after she had taken her young paint out on his first ever solo trail ride on her thoroughbred farm. Who’s This Amazing Horse? “BamBam” is a home bred out of one of her mares by a gorgeous paint stud. She also called [...]

Finding the Sweet Spot Clinic Review
Energy, Balance, Relaxation + Freedom This past weekend I gave MuMu and myself the gift of attending three whole days of nothing but improving our partnership. With the leadership of the wide-scoped talent and skills of Shelby Hume, horsewoman extraordinaire, we got to learn with nine other horse-human teams new ways to delve deeper into the [...]

Take the Time it Takes
A Graduation of Sorts Last week my greenish paint horse and I went on a trail ride with some friends in a beautiful landscape on a gorgeous summer day. My wonderful friend Lindy Huber included us in her blog post about it here. Her words about our slow journey inspired me to make this post. [...]

Bobbles and Doggles at The Rolex KY This Year
What a perfect Rolex KY this year! The weather gleamed all day Saturday – when it really needed to for the teams to negotiate those insane jumps as safely as possible. For 6 years I’ve volunteered on Xcountry day to help keep people from entering the gallop lane at the “Head of the Lake” water [...]

“Yike!”s on Very Game Horses – Do I Go This Year?
The Rolex Three Day Event that spans four days (I know, it’s not that eventers are lousy at simple math – it’s that dressage takes forever, I mean two days, to judge) is coming to the Kentucky Horse Park later this month. I always start by being ‘on the fence’ (a very tall, wide or [...]

It is the Decade of the Unicorn. I should know, because last year during the Year of the Unicorn I wasn’t finished considering these mythical beings, so I extended the deadline. ( For a quick tutorial on how to find unicorns in your area visit “Finding Unicorns“) You can do stuff like that when you’re [...]

Horse Whispering and Loud Trains
Well before I moved into a two hundred year old log home set into the rolling landscape of the southern Kentucky bluegrass region I lived in a gritty rough-edged inner city Chicago neighborhood. I had an ice-blue eyed rescued fighting dog, Zippy, whom I counted on to accompany me safely past knots of loitering gangbangers [...]

Moving Forward – Integrating WegWag Here!
This blog began as a personal online journal to document the life lessons my young black and white paint was dedicated to providing me. The title was My Walk With Mu. At the same time I was publishing a much more pubic blog dedicated to building and capturing the excitement surrounding the World Equestrian Games [...]
