There’s something about a gorgeous expanse of green dotted with barns that just makes my heart sing. Of course, out here in California we are mostly yellow and have been for some time, but a girl can dream, right? I’m amazed at all of the aerial technology we have available these days. I caught myself idly checking out the AirDog late last night and quietly fantasizing about the helmet-cam videos of the future. I have visions of picture-in-picture video where the main frame shows the rider’s perspective and the smaller frame showing horse and rider from the side. Of course, I’m not sure I’d want to be galloping along on my mare with an AirDog chasing me. Racing The Train at Fresno County Horse Park is already exciting enough!
