Extreme Fun

Just got back from a fabulous weekend at La Estancia Alegre, where Barbara Windom and Mark Bolender designed and built an amazing trail course in the bosque.

‘Tis the Season

Fall is my favorite time of year. It’s one of three seasons I missed growing up in the endless summers of South Texas. So I get positively giddy over the changing leaves and cooling temps. I’m also thrilled that so many of us are getting out there and enjoying the wonderful weather, our fabulous hor

Take that, Mary

She only had a little lamb follow her to school. Kerry had a little horse, and he was way more fun that a bag of wool. My daughter’s first-grade class has been studying Peru, so I loaded up Wonder Pony, donned my whites and did a quick demo for the 96 small people who brought [...]

I’m about to have the best Mother’s Day ever. Tomorrow I’m heading down to Texas to be a part of the Southwest Peruvian Horse Show. Wonder Pony will not be joining me, sadly. But I’ll still get three days to enjoy great horses and friends as my kids get quality time with my mom. It’s [...]
