Wild Horse Update - Your Help Needed to Stop Another Roundup
We told you this was going to be a long, hard fight – thank you for sticking with us to take action on each and every unacceptable assault by the Obama Administration on our wild horses.

If Animals Could Talk - by Ron Hevener
Winter’s aching fingers pinched my ears as I hurried to the barn. My toes, cozy and padded by woolen socks in a new pair of work boots, bent with each chunk of frozen mud beneath them and sent fluffy, mindless snow bouncing away on my path.

Riding Back to Front, Part III - by Lynn Palm
December 8, 2009 - The importance of correct form and how it relates to communication with your horse cannot be emphasized enough.

What Is a Good Working Gait? by Jane Savoie
At Training and First levels, you're asked to ride your horse in a working gait. So you might ask, how do I know what is a good working gait for my horse?
