    • Fall is Book Reading Season!

      It’s November, and we’ve had chilly weather here on the east coast for the past few days. Soup weather. Cozy blanket weather. Book weather. It’s also time for me to begin thinking about holiday gifts for friends and family. It sneaks up on me every year, and by December I’m always so busy.  If you’re…

    • Horse Book Dreaming

      The weather here became decidedly autumnal this weekend. Heavy rains and wind from a tropical storm, and nighttime temperatures that convinced the barn to swap horses from night turnout back to day turnout. It feels like book writing weather.

    • Good Days, Bad Days, and a Request

      One of the things that continuously tripped me up in learning how to work with horses was that I would make a lot of progress and then one day it would seem like none of it mattered. The horse would suddenly regress, spooking at things they had accepted before, refusing things, getting fidgety, or outright…
