Here’s the deal, in my humble opinion.

In every area of riding, the first thing that you learn and relearn and relearn again, is balance…balance as a rider and to balance your horse.

Many disagree here, some may agree. The important thing is the discussion surrounding Karl’s comments. So many important, wise and experienced voices have weighed in. THAT, is the good. Amateurs and young kids seeing and hearing from the greats.
We can all benefit from these discussions. It wakes us up, puts a fire in our belly’s to learn and discuss and grow.

So good on you Karl Cook. Keep, ‘Walking & Talking’ !!

By CAITLIN CREEL Regarding the latest debate about position, let’s acknowledge something important: we’re discussing a blog post from 2022. I won’t speak for Karl, but I suspect his opinion may have evolved over the last two years following ample opportunity for new learnings and experiences, ...

great article…never occurred to me that kids, (apparently those today) would not be learning basic skills. How then are they learning to love to the deepest part of their core? It’s that bond…the desire to learn about how to care for someone you love…the hunger to learn everything.

BY DAPHNE THORNTON OF TWO BIT TRAINING When it comes to riding lessons, I understand that riding is the overwhelming desire, as well as the underlying principle, guiding most participants. However, sometimes riding is not possible, or even advisable. On those days, I am a fan of unmounted lessons.....

A corneal ulcer (ulcerative keratitis), is the most serious eye disease that veterinarians treat. Defined as a lesion in which the outer layer and some of the middle layer of the cornea have been lost, even simple ulcers can quickly progress to larger, more complicated ones if not diagnosed and treated promptly. A corneal ulcer can even lead to an infection of inner structures of the eye.

When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud

And goes down burning into the gulf below,

No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud
At what has happened. Birds, at least, must know

It is the change to darkness in the sky.
Murmuring something quiet in its breast,
One bird begins to close a faded eye;
Or overtaken too far from its nest,
Hurrying low above the grove, some waif
Swoops just in time to his remembered tree.

At most he thinks or twitters softly, “Safe!
Now let the night be dark for all of me.
Let the night be too dark for me to see
Into the future. Let what will be be.”

We do not need to turn to joy, yet.
We do not need to find hope, yet.
We do not need to organize, yet.

Today, we can howl at the moon,
Cover our mirrors,
Rend our garments.

There will be time to reignite,
To fight for our country,
To protect the vulnerable
With everything we have.

But, today,
We grieve.
