7 Steps to a Safe Spring Ride
A poet once wrote of the joys of spring and its effect on horsemen.

Willy Be Mine
Willy became my horse even before he was born on a cold February night last year. Now that he's a yearling, I'm planning for his future. I have an opportunity to train a trail horse from the ground up. Vanessa has always referred to the colt as mine for a reason. His conception, quite... | read »

A Walk on the Wilder Side
More than 155,000 miles...it's a staggering number of trail miles to cover horseback. Janine Wilder long ago gave up volunteering this accomplishment in conversation. "People just react with disbelief when they hear it," she says. Listeners' astonished responses are only compounded if... | read »

Mules on the Ranch
We were being "law abiding." Camped in a wilderness valley, our horses secured to a high line, the tent pitched, the cooking area covered by a tarp, Billy and I lacked only one thing to hold the drizzle at bay.
