My wonderful Swedish family who cared for me and helped me get home. My time in Ammarnus and Sweden was cut short.  I took a fall off Sitar in early June.  I got right back on and rode back to the stable and thought that was an end of it.  But a few days later…

2:00 am! I’ve been at the farm for a little over 3 weeks and it’s been over a month since I left Port Townsend.  It always seems amazing how a week, a month can seem so long when traveling.  Port Townsend seems very far away right now.  But life here continues with some great high…

I arrived here in Ammarnus after what seemed like a long trip before I even got here.   Doug and me in Santa Barbara last January.  Couldn’t fine a pixs with Scott  I spent a couple days in Seattle with my friends Doug and Scott.  They were wonderful – helping to relive the pre-trip stresses –…

Ricky and Sundance caught kissing!  Nadine and  Maurine enter the final stages of saddle training with Mrs Potts. Nadine and Mrs. Potts go for a ride!  And there you have it.  A saddle trained Mustang!  It was a great experience for Mrs. Potts, Nadine, Maurine, Pat and me! There are always good byes when leaving. …

Week Two at Mustang Camp Today was a day off.  So Nadine,  Maurine and I headed to the Chaco Culture National Park.  Pat recommended we go.  She said that it’s just the next valley over but to drive it was about 70 miles, 40 of it on very tough dirt roads.  Didn’t need the 4×4…

Taking residents on an outride I’ve been at Horizon Farm Trust for about 2 weeks now.  This is a very different experience than I thought I was going to have this time in South Africa.  While horses are part of the experience, it’s more about the farm, their residents, their philosophy and capturing that on…

Back to South Africa I’m here in South Africa again, this time near Durban.  Originally I was going to be working at a horse farm near Cape Town but once there it was clear it was not a good fit.  So I found the Horizon Farm, a non-profit residential program for disabled adults.  There is…

Meet a mustang…Loren I’m working for Patricia and John Irick, mostly for Pat. She takes in mustangs fresh off the range and trains…
