I keep coming across reports of how many riders injure their horse’s mouths, especially during competitions. I do not see many articles about how to reduce the number of horses with injured mouths. Nor do i see any explanation of why those who want top performances from their horses in competition are the very people […]
I joined Facebook last fall with the intention of broadening my social horizons. So when a couple of members of the New Mexico Horse Council group asked to friend me, I agreed. I wanted to know what horse people in New Mexico were up to. I found that the actual NMHC group is pretty quiet, […]
My Light in the Saddle series on schooling horses and riders is now priced at 9.99 each. I am offering a free one hour video consult to the first ten horse people to send me documentation that they have bought all six volumes by May 31st, 2021! Click here to reach my WordPress contact page.

I managed to get the first book in my series on the Rune Field out just as this global resurgence of fascism, white supremacy and neo-Nazism began to hit the news. I now find myself addressing three different groups all with highly charged emotional approaches to the Runes. The first two groups define each other. […]
I just now found an article published in September of 2020 discussing the ‘performance inhibiting spinal pressure’ researchers documented when racehorse trainers strapped a roller or surcingle around their yearling’s barrels. I was intrigued because when I was researching background information on the impact of girth position and tension for my series on horse training, […]
A comment on my FB group when we were looking at images of Square Horses at the trot got me thinking about how horseman learn to see patterns of movement intuitively. Sometime back I found an article where a member of one of the North American Horse tribes explained the markings they painted on their […]
Facebook will not let me or anyone else link to my WordPress blog. Apparently my WordPress address is ‘abusive’.
