How do you put some light fitness miles on a three year old in preparation for the FEH championships in a month? Pony them! Nyls, who actually hates all other horses, oddly tolerates pony-ing and

Raise your hand if you have a crush on Cooley Cross Border! He produced another picture perfect moment at Bromont this weekend. Though we miss Richland Park, I feel very fortunate that Bromont stepped up

I have this quiet theory that my horse Turkey is in fact a secret mental case, wrapped in a very cute outer coating. He’s actually got a really good brain, but he also has multiple
