I'm trying to find Kathy Sherman, Auburn CA. She placed in the 2007 Tevis Cup using easy boots. Can someone tell her I'm on-board? Thanks!

Friends, I just can't face talking anymore on the phone right now and so I am sharing with you what happened to my beloved 11 year old gelding Jack. This is the note I sent to his breeder in Utah and it will save me from breaking down while I try to tell you about it on the phone or in person.…

Most years in July, Mom hauls me over to the Big Horn 100 in Shell, WY. This year was no exception. It would be my first endurance ride of the season like it was last year. Mom conditions me enough right here at home, I felt GREAT this year. Ready to roll! I even had company this year as Monty came along for some trail riding in the rockies after.
We woke Mom up just before 3 am demanding more hay. She was kind enough to oblige. (I can make her do all sorts of stuff to spoil me once we…

Equine humor
Do horses have a sense of humor? If they did, then wouldn't it be logical to assume that they have other human emotions? Empathy, frustration, anger, disappointment, joy? Some might say that I am anthropomorphizing. Putting my own uniquely human feelings upon an animal incapable of the same. That may be true, but there are some "emotions" that can be categorized as instinct. How many of us have been on a horse that is filled with fear? How about, excitement or frustratio…

You can see the Crazy Horse Ride, the Warriors ride on you tube if you are interested. These rides aren't sanctioned, it's just something we do to give the kids an alternative to drugs and alcohol

I was able to do a short ride here in Elfin Forest after a dressage lesson yesterday. Wow, what a difference a few days made with the wildflowers! The wild wheat has grown at least a foot in the sunny meadows which Jazzi could not ignore. Who needs to life weights when you have a hungry horse? Also in the sunny areas I saw a new addition - bright yellow button flowers made up of very small flowers that nod in the breeze. I do not know their name.
And the sages are in…

It is a very strange and well, grown up Mother’s Day here at the Lazy J Ranch. I received an early morning call from my very good non-horse friend, Suzie who has been at a spiritual retreat in the Rockies for the past week. Suzie and I have been friends and co-workers for many years working on birth injury and catastrophic injury cases (we have seen a lot of trauma together). Suzie is on a new path of spiritual awakening and finding light in an often dark world. Her words of

Well last night I could not sleep at all. At first I attributed it to nerves and excitement but it soon became clear to me that I was cold, very cold. We do not have sleeping bags, the air mattress was deflating and my blankets, even the extra ones we had brought were just not doing the job. Levi had been asleep and bundled up when I went to bed but he woke up at some po…

The morning of the ride I woke up shortly before the alarm went off at 7 am. I did not sleep very well, having Levi sleep on my chest and listening for the sounds of loose horses. All the building excitement of the years first ride probably had a little something to do with that also. I worried about staying on the trail and finding a partner…

The thing I noticed about this part of Idaho is the sun seems to set late and come up just as late. Our ride time was at 8 am so Lara and I decided to get up at 5 am so we would have plenty of time to get ourselves and the horses ready without feeling rushed like last time we tried to ride together (Lakeview Ranch Rid…

Morning arrives and I am awake before the alarm. I think the time is a little before 5 AM. I had set the alarm for about 5:30 thinking that would give me an hour and a half to eat and get Sinwaan ready. I went out first thing and fed Sinwaan his breakfast at the trailer. Man, it was COLD! I was shivering. I went back in the trailer…

After trying very hard to sleep all night long and not succeeding, I noticed it getting bright outside. I got up and checked the time on the phone. 5:33 AM. How could that be? The alarm never went off on either of our phones. I peeked outside and Sinwaan was eating, it looked like Ruth had gotten up and thrown him some hay. I woke Matt up and started some water on the stove for his oatm…

"She's a little spooky". Most people, upon hearing this phrase, would probably conjure an image of a willowy girl in black clothes wearing black makeup, who claims to see dead people. For those of us who are equine inclined, however, a very different image, and a whole different set of emotions, come to mind.
Scenario number one: "The Sleeper"
You are on hour number two on a very pleasant trail ride. You are astride your Trusty steed that is about a hundred years old and…

Dani's lab, Zak got kicked by one of the horses 3 weeks ago and popped a huge seroma (fluid filled tumor) that was removed yesterday. I have been stuck in the house, keeping and eye on her and making sure she does not pull out the 2 drains that are in her side. This is somewhat OK as it has been raining all day and is COLD. Yes, it is snowing in our mountains...all this and we are literally days away from the first of May!!!! And they are saying that this storm is staying for all of tomorrow too…
