I couldn't be any more grateful for her, as she holds me accountable for everything I do. I've learned more as a rider over the past two months than over … [Read more...]

Well, it was a rainy ride to start off with. Robin Shen arrived at my barn just as the rain stopped. We looked up the weather and it showed clear weather for the rest of the day. We saddled up our horses and hit the trails... and just when we were far enough away from the barn it started pouring down rain! We were soaked. Luckily it only lasted a short while and we ended up enjoying the rest of the ride. … [Read more...]

Zoe

Maybe the fact that I was born in a place called Horsepasture, Virginia, might have some bearing on my life-long passion. Or maybe it … [Read more...]
