A man walks into a bar, shadily dressed in a trench coat with the collar pulled up and a fedora pulled down over his face. A livid scar runs down his cheek, and his two tone shoes are dangerously polished. In his hands he's carrying an accordion case. The bar falls completely silent.

Well as promised, I will now share with you why I have learned to speak sheep. About a month ago, I looked out the window because I heard a ruckus. And what to my wondering eyes did I see?

In October of last year, my husband found an ad for a free Chestnut Morgan mare. He called and the gentleman delivered her to the ranch. He was giving her away because she was now too much trouble. Apparently he took her to a horse ranch to be bred, and the story goes, she was … Continue reading Rescued
You know when you read one of those stories that make you say, “Hey, I want to be just like that when I grow up.” You know because it awakens something inside of you that makes you realize you can be like that right now.
