In The News

A couple months back I got a request from Northwest Horse Source to write an article on my experience with the Extreme Mustang Makeover. It was their 'events' issue and they wanted a little something covering the Makeover. Cool beans...anything I can do to spread the word on mustang adoption is good with me. I was quite surprised, though, when I found out it was used as the cover story!

After our little fun day with the cattle, I was again asked to put together a wee little something for their blog, the Cyber Saddle. They're currently looking for reader entries from horsey folk like you and I, so if you've got something you'd like to share, write it up and send it in!

Extremely Entertaining

More Extreme Than Before!

You must, simply MUST click the link. Because if you thought the Mustang Makeovers were extreme...well, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Tomorrow (which may well be today by the time you read this) Darling and I are going to play hoofball with the 'boys'. What's hoofball? Soccer for horses, I think. A great big ball that we get to knock around. It's a fun clinic that is supposed to help a horse develop his following skills for cattle work. I'm sure we'll have some interesting video when we return!

And in other news...if you live somewhere in the western states, you may want to pick up a copy of the Northwest Horse Source, as Your's Truly has an article in it. Not only that, but Whatcom Magazine also did a profile on me for their April issue.

Check It Out!

If you live somewhere in the west, you've no doubt seen their magazine sitting in a tack or feed store at some point. The Northwest Horse Source is a lovely little magazine chock full of interesting articles, many reader submitted, plus great horse industry news and a smattering of classifieds. What sets it apart from the other magazines of equal caliber is that it's free... Yeah, that's right! And in this economy, who doesn't like free?

So maybe you're sitting out there thinking to yourself..."Hey, Desperate, you numbskull...I live on the east coast, so how is this good news for me?" And I'd holler back at you, "Hey, check it out! They've got a blog! Not only that, but their entire magazine is online. That means all those terrific articles are just a click away!"

Yup. That's what I'd holler back. Of course, you'd probably want a link to go with the hollering, and I could provide you with that, too. Of particular interest to my dear readers...(or perhaps just my grandmother...) would be this link: http://nwhscybersaddle.blogspot.com/2008/08/meeting-mustangs.html

You may also want to view the magazine itself, which can be found here: http://nwhorsesource.com/

I hope y'all enjoy the magazine as much as I do.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans :)
