I don’t always share when my images are in Horse Illustrated, but the September 2019 issue has one of my photos on the cover and a lot on the inside too! I love working with Horse Illustrated to help make their magazine visually appealing. You can order this issue or…
In September 2018, I visited my friend MacDermaid at her ranch near Phoenix, AZ. Annie has been the top TIP (Trainer Incentive Program) trainer for the Mustang Heritage Foundation for the past three years and has devoted her life to finding homes for wild horses. I worked with my editor…
