Passion, Pain and Horses Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! My dad, riding ahead of me with his friends, doesn’t hear my call. But Danny does. Danny is my dad’s Appaloosa. Danny turns and starts galloping back towards me, my dad tries to get control but can’t. M...
I have written a grand total of thirty-three posts for my blog. I figured at this point, it's a good time to make a bio of sorts. I’d like my followers to know who they're following. I don’t use my real name for this blog, but at the very least, I w...

I went to a small local "Tack & Horse Auction" recently with some friends. We went to look at tack and for one friend to sell a couple of old saddles. I told myself that I was not going to look at the horses; I was there for the tack portion only. I ...
