Sugar cubes to Madison Bumgarner for riding a horse into the stadium on opening day. I’m not a baseball fan, but I’m all for a great entrance on horseback. Extra sugar cubes, because he did a good job of mounting up. Sure he’s an athlete, but he did it all right technique-wise to ...

No one really knows if there is such a thing as reincarnation. But if there is, I’ve given some thought as to how I’d like to return. I first considered coming back as a cat. But the prospect of being expected to hunt for mice and play with spiders is a bit off-putting. There’s a ...

How old were you when you first discovered horses? If you ride, how old were you when you first sat in the saddle, or when you first started really riding? There are old photos of me sitting on my mother’s horse as a toddler. I got my first pony when I was still in the single dig ...

We may dislike it, but there are still many people who eat horse meat. A few years ago, I interviewed a woman from Malta who was living in Britain. When I asked her what she missed, she said the beauty of the island and her mother serving horse meat. For her, horse meat was a tas ...

Having come from a distance riding background, I’m used to roughing it. I’ve slept in tents, the back seats of trucks and the gooseneck of a stock trailer. I’ve eaten food that has sat in a luke-cool cooler for three days. And when you’re hungry, eating a partially soggy stale ba ...

There is no artist's signature on the print. The frame is old and battered, and I rather like it that way. I have it hung in the hall, out of any direct light, so that it doesn’t fade any further, but it’s still visible from where I often sit to write in my room. I’m fussy about ...

Like most of you, I take a lot of care when naming a horse. I try to match the name to the horse's nature or appearance. I like names that are dignified, yet easy to say. I think names are important. But every now and then I come across a horse name that makes me ask, 'what we're ...
