A January Morning
I woke up this morning to find the air cool and crisp, the sky filled with warm and bright colors, and an irrigated pasture from a running water hose from the night before 😅

Road to Recovery
A couple of weeks ago, just before going to bed, I found Minka limping with lacerations on both legs, a cut just above the hoof, in the rain and mud.

Making a Horse Trail

I think he might be “claustrophobic” when he’s tied up and I begin to work with his feet. I’ve been going through a…
