I always take more away from my lessons with Lanny than just horsemanship.
When I bought this horse last April I had dreams, but no goals.
Brian Knapp said, “There is a difference between a dream and a goal. A dream is a gift you want to be given. A goal is something you work to achieve.”

Since I officially started freelancing at the end of November 2019, I know this post is a little late! But ya know, I’ve just have been dealing with a global pandemic and what not!

Hi horse friends!
A little known secret about me is that if I could own my own tack & feed store I would. When I was a kid I could spend hours just roaming the aisles, comparing products and feeling the tack. Here are my barn favorites, my all-stars, my ride-or-die barn products:
