The title of this blog post was the subject line of the first email I received from Kim regarding this session and my heart jumped when I read it. Remember Sessions are a special kind of session I offer to people whose horses who are over the age of 24,…
Whew! It’s been a very busy “off-season” for me and now this crazy warm weather in March has me freaking out that summer is almost here and I still have much to share from 2011 and the first few months of 2012. I’m not complaining, though, it’s been good to…
