I was taught to snake (serpentine) around the arena by Buck Brannaman. It is a great routine to warm up my horse and the horse has something different to do than just walk along the arena fence. I also like it because it gives me a focus and plan to start my longer rides.
It’s not easy being in a relationship with someone. A horse is no different. Doing something together as a team is communication personified. I get you and you get me. That is the final result when you know it is up to you to make it last. I needed to relearn some things and figure my horse’s understanding of what I need, what I want.

Have you heard about 5G coming. Faster, smoother, warp speed internet. First of all, because I am a rural, we won’t get that internet speed. We are, at best, on 3G. I can’t take any more fast social media. My mind is not equipped to handle the constant statistic updates and information, good or misleading […]
We were in Saskatoon last weekend and the following are pics of the horse expo in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Honestly, I wouldn’t lie to you; this horse’s name is Donna and she won the NAERIC trainer challenge.
