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... So many things that we get into are because of the generations before us. Which is why it … Continue reading Grand Generations: Passing Down the Love of the Quarter Horse
Insurance for Your Horse’s Legs – Leg Wrapping
Think of it as insurance for your horse’s most valuable player when it comes to his performance.

Battle of the Clones Versus AQHA

Using Technology to Help Spur Youth Equine Participation
Youth participation in equine activities continues to drop as those hooked on technology continues to rise.

The program is called Taking Me Riding, and it's already starting to … Continue reading Using Technology to Help Spur Youth Equine Participation
Throwback Thursday: When the World Came to Kentucky
Inspired by the Winter Olympics in Sochi, I decided to do a "Throwback Thursday" that involves the World Equestrian Games.
