Chief on Trailer
For several years now I’ve been attaching my horses hay bags and buckets to the side of the horse trailer. This works great and makes things a lot neater and easier.

Chief does prefer to have some hay put

Click here for Geoff’s MySpace page, and here for Mimi’s. Good job guys, though I have to say that it sounded much better in my

If your horse happens to get loose if you are traveling or camping (or at an endurance ride), these are a great way to provide identification – especially if your horses manages to slip out of his/her halter.
I braid these metal ID tags into the horses manes when I travel with the horses or when attending rides or other events. I also have these ID tags on other items such as on each

How I spent my summer vacation….
This was a five day ride covering 250 miles. We went from Imlay, Nevada to Cedarville, California. The ride this year turned out to be ah…..quite interesting and unusual for several reasons.

Zenos and Granite Chief
Now, I experience the love in everyone. I no longer am a person who judges others for being overweight, for being too young or too old, for having their hair a certain way, or for how they dress.
