Sideline April 4, 2017
At the sideline, I
Watch her canter through the field
I’m jealous and proud.
Art Prescription: This beautiful young lady rides my horse Finn on Tuesdays. She loves him. Today I watched her ride and felt both a sense of true pride to see my beautiful horse move, and I have to admit, jealousy. It’s okay though, it’s a win-win, and is super good for him. He OF COURSE! knows I’m his momma and loves me MORE. LOL, Sweet boy…

Upcoming Workshop
Hello dear friends,
I’m very excited to announce this upcoming workshop at Galleywinter Farm in Afton Virginia. No art or horse experience required. Just your imagination and time for yourself.
I wanted to share this with you so you can save the date if you are interested.
Soothing Sounds March 26, 2017
When a clip-clop-clip
A knicker, and hay chomping
Soothe your heart and soul.
Art Prescription: Doing ground-work today with Finn I was reminded how much I love the sound of his hooves taking step after step. He knickers at me as I approach his paddock, surely food related, but I like to believe it’s because he looks forward to our time together as much as I do.
