​Impact of the Horse -
​Two Worlds One Event

by Donnette Hicks
What is Impact of the Horse? It's a competition where a community of horsemen bring mustangs and domestic horses together to showcase the usability of America's wild horses. Most would agree “it’s the spirit in which the competition is formulated” that has kept these horsemen from seven states returning year after year. ...

Trust is a Two-Way Street
   by Julie Goodnight
Trust is an elusive thing, both to give and to get. You cannot force or implore someone to trust you, you can only earn it. If you feel as though you have been wronged by someone else, unjustly criticized, punished or lied to, it’s really hard to give them your trust.
 
Lately, I’ve been working with a lot of people, in my clinics, who list developing trust from their horse as an important goal in their personal horsemanship journey. It is a good goal, maybe one of the best...

​River:  The Little Horse Full of Big Surprises

by Krissy Matterson
When Krissy Matterson made the trek to the corral facility, there was a mix of excitement and nerves, guessing what color, sex, size, this horse would be and its Herd Management Area. When she went to the chutes to find her horse, she was surprised to find a very small 14 hand, thin, pony. He had a kind face and was fairly quiet. The drive was strong to say, "turn him back and give me a redraw". ...

Emergency or Urgency
by Amy Ortez, DVM
Horses have been evolving for 50 million years yet their ability to hurt themselves could make one question both the merits of evolution and intelligent design simultaneously.  When you come home from work and you find your horse is not how you left them, what do you do?  Is this truly an emergency or can it wait until the morning?  Here is a list of the more common urgent or emergency situation...

Texas Style 
by Mary A. Lainhart
In September, we spent a week in Texas visiting with great friends, Bob and Debbie Lusk, and had the opportunity to see other homesteads in a variety of places.  It is always a wonderful experience to see how others are living off the land, gardening, and farming.  On this trip, though, we had the unique opportunity to visit an authentic old homestead, like stepping back in history.

Meet the Donkey
by Jean McMillan​
Today's L'il Buckaroos topic is donkeys and their cousins. They're them members of the Equidae familiy. Scientists use the term “family” to group together animals that share significant characteristics. They do look a bit like cousins, but there are plenty of differences between donkeys and horses. ​

RIDING FREEDOM'S TRAIL

​BraveHearts - Wild Mustangs Mirror the Inner Turmoil of the Veteran's Soul
by Tricia Carzoli
“Sober tears are better than [non-sober] tears any day,” U.S. Army Infantry veteran and BraveHearts Therapeutic Riding and Educational Center participant Cpl Mitchell Reno said. “I can spend time baring my soul to Boo-yah [a 21-year-old mustang], and I tell him that I see his scars. I tell him I know he hurts. I tell him I can relate to his hyper vigilance. …And then, I realize I am talking to myself. It is an internal dialogue, and Boo-yah really is a mirror to my soul.”...

Nevada Discovery Ride

by Samantha Szesciorka
Our ride to Jarbidge was some of the toughest terrain so far, but absolutely spectacular! We rode 20 miles through the Jarbidge Wilderness on a tiny pack trail. We didn't see a single other person and felt like we had the place all to ourselves... with the exception of all the elk we saw! Sage is an elk magnet. ...
