Grand Generations: Passing Down the Love of the Quarter Horse
I'll the first to admit that if it weren't for my mother, I probably wouldn't be a horsewoman. I also wouldn't be into dog agility if it weren't for my father and mother, and my mother's mother...

Police K-9s: Partners in Duty & In Life
In the February/March 2017 issue of Western Horse & Gun Magazine, I had the privilege to highlight a relationship I have seen grow firsthand.

Fit Rider: Battling Hibernation
The cold has certainly set in here in the Midwest. It's not even Christmas, and we're battling frozen conditions everywhere, which means not much action happening outside.

Great Rides: An AQHA World Show to Remember
At the 1983 AQHA World Championship Show, Paris Hughes became a legend aboard her trusty gelding, Mr Two Eyed Twist, when the pair won not one, not two but three world championship trophies in one day, barely coming in second for the All Around Amateur title at the show. And that was all while working … Continue reading Great Rides: An AQHA World Show to Remember
Home Services Content
Lately I've been doing some work for a few different home services companies (heating/air conditioning, plumbing, electricians). Mostly social media management, reputation management and content curation for their websites.
