I’m guessing that if some of you came to my blog today by way of a link with a title, you expected to see a horse much larger in stature, but don’t let Jack’s size fool you – he’s a great horse that has sired many title-winning horses. Some of…
Yesterday was a CRAZY day! I woke up and went through my morning routine like usual. I put my hair up in a pony tail, dressed in “I don’t have to go anywhere today” clothes and sat at my desk to start getting caught up on photo editing. Then I…
Leah and I board our beautiful horses together at Windward Farm. I have really enjoyed riding with Leah and getting to know her better over the past few years. She’s a smart, strong young woman with excellent horsemanship skills and a smile that lights up a barn. 🙂 For this…
