All about me...

I believe it is customary for me to introduce myself and give ya'll (yes, sometimes an accent is necessary, and no, I will not refrain) a bit of history and background and of course a personal commentary.

When horseowners meet...

Having been in the industry for many years I have always been astounded by how much horse people love to talkÉ about horsesÉ and I find it fascinating how every conversation seems to start with the exact same 5 questions (and please let me know if IÕve missed any): 1) What do you ride? (IÕll provide translation for those of you who may not be horse peopleÉRead: which discipline do you ride the most? English? Western? etc) 2) What is your horse? (Read: what breed?
