My little chestnut mare. I love her, but oh my. Always an adventure with her. She’s still quite young and inexperienced and can still have her moments. After these past two months of total isolation - and somewhat to my surprise and delight - we’ve been doing so well together. I’ve been so proud of…

It’s my mini vacation every week! Winter has arrived on the prairies. The temperatures have dropped in the negative double digits Celsius…
Thanksgiving is truly one of my favourite holidays. It gives us a moment in our very busy routines to step back and realize how lucky we are. Today, first and foremost I am grateful for my children. I am blessed to watch them start families of their own and so proud of the wonderful parents…
