Getting away from the daily grind at home is always a welcome adventure, unless you own horses.

Whether they become what we envision or take a different route, there is great reward in working with young horses.

Plain or fancy, these functional pieces of equipment have much more to say than just “giddyup.”

The horsemanship journey follows curves, detours and bumps along the way to better connecting with the horse.
