Welcome to Black Horse Life

…formally known as Black Horse Blog

I originally created this blog as a way to share my views and experiences working with and riding horses.

After a slightly extended sabbatical from writing in general, I figured Black Horse Blog needed a new and better look – hopefully to inspire new and “more” writing!

Part of the inspiration for this change came about because of my new horse Pearl, a move to a more active barn and my growing involvement with dressage and showing.

The important thing I want to stress here is that I don’t profess to be an expert of any kind at horse training. But, I have worked with, owned and ridden many, many horses. Some I have even saddle broke. If I had to calculate the number of hours I have spent riding horses (hours in the saddle) over the course of my riding life (now over 25 years) I figure that number would be a little over 10,000 hours. It is only from my successes and failures that I base my writing on.

My hope with this blog is that you find seeds of inspiration for your own journey with horses! May you have many Happy Trails ahead of you!
