I saw a post and I just cannot get it out of my mind. Therefore, I'm coming here to talk about it, because I think it raises a broader question. The post was someone asking if they should purchase a horse that had attacked a person[...]
Summer is upon us, and it's time to spend every possible moment at the barn. I literally have! Which is really amazing, it's been a long time since I was such a barn rat. But I've been there every single day. Amazing. But it's made me[...]
