Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I rode with my father when I was a small child and used horses to escape once I had kids of my own. I started this blog back in 2021 to chronicle my experiences and impressions travelling the U.S. with my horses. But, the pandemic has passed and I'm once again mixing an occassional international adventure in with the domestic riding. Again, much of the focus will be on these incredible animals I love so much and the varied people who share my passion for them. Still, I hope my reflections and impressions appeal to the adventurer inside us all. I invite you to subscribe to my blog to follow daily life with my horses and the trips I take to see America and the world from the saddle. Click on blog posts below to read.
