By on April 12, 2016 in Winsome Farms

I love writing our rider profiles. Crafting the questions that will help me get to know them. Crafting the story so everyone else can get to know them too. But every now and again things don’t go as I planned. Sometimes, they go even better.  We all thought it would be great to catch up with […]

How to ride outside and stay alive…and in the saddle.

Rut Row! It’s that time of year again—although here in Colorado, “that” time in can be anywhere from March to May…or possibly even June or July. A warm, lilting breeze entices, lures us back outside again. Fluffy bunny clouds give no hint of the lurking dark. The robins have returned, along with their warbling brethren. […]

Friends await and only some of them go on two legs. Under this wide, welcoming sky my own beloved horse is content—and so am I. […]
