| Had a good visit with Rhonda Sedgwick Stearns this week, and she is doing great. The bones are mending and she finally has that awful contraption off of her arm. It was a gruesome looking gizmo, to say the least, but it did the job and the results were... more... | |

Last week over pie, I shared a few tidbits about the cracker cowboys of Florida with a saddle maker friend who lives nearby. I had just finished reading a brief but interesting collection of stories by Iris Wall, owner of the High Horse Ranch near... |

My how time flies. On one hand, it's been the longest winter ever, but on the other, here it is March already! My winter horse is sharp shod, so let's hit a lope and see what's happening on the circle. The Spring Series at... |
