The Home Ranch in Clark, Colorado I like to think of myself as a "City-Cowgirl". I love the country lifestyle and everything that comes with it, but I also enjoy the finer things in life.

by Equestrian Escapes Sarah Caplan I could have found lots of reasons why I shouldn’t take up the offer to ride to Machu Picchu in Peru. The obvious one being the distance from home, but even as I composed my ‘how kind of you to offer me such a wonderful opportunity but unfortunately I will sadly have to decline’ email, a niggling doubt ate at the back of my mind. Yes, it was miles away, and I would be travelling alone but I had always wanted to visit Machu Picchu and the chance to … [Read more...]
