WELCOME to 2013! Do you make resolutions or set goals to help guide you in the direction of your horse dreams? I tend to have goals and intentions throughout the year, but there’s something about January 1st that feels like a blank canvas on which to create something new and beautiful…

HAPPY SUMMER GHCers! In my little corner of the world, life has been flying by at gallop speed, but that hasn’t stopped me from enjoying the scenery and snapping away with my camera…

I’m not a good enough rider… But this year (which happened to coincide with a milestone birthday) something shifted and I knew my excuses were lame…

I’m the type who loves to ponder meaning, so when I saw a photo of me and my lesson horse, our strides in sync as we began warming up for a ride, it led me to ask this question: When a horse and human are riding (or walking) in sync, is it a result of unrelated actions occurring together by chance (synchronicity)?
