About Riding

A collection of equestrian articles describing primarily my experiences, as well as education gained by 35 years as a professional rider. Much should help in gaining  more insight and understanding when on top of a horse.

About Training of Horses

A collection of horse training and horse handling articles describing primarily my experiences, as well as education gained by 50 years as a professional horseman.  Much should help in gaining  more insight and understanding of horses, as well as improving one's ability in relating to them.

Farriery

Collection of articles about some forgotten basics concerning farriery and hoof care, and some more interesting stuff that should help in dealing with hoof related issues in horses.
