Boss Mare: Women and Honesty.
Lately, I am discovering I like mares more and more. They are so NOT like most of us humans. They have a refreshing honesty. “If you aren’t going to drive the bus, get out of my way and I’ll do it.” Succinct, blunt and clean with her intention- a mare will get the job done. … Read more
Weekly Photo Challenge: Up
This biggest UP this week at Infinity Farm is SaraJane. She is a lovely 3 yr. old Quarter horse, here in training from Ruby Ranch Horse Rescue and she is making giant strides UP from a rough start.

You Might as Well Enjoy the Ride.
We had an Introduction to Driving clinic at Infinity Farm last weekend. It was a fun group ready for a new experience. Our schoolmaster donkey-boys taught the clinic, along with me and Lisa. Participants asked my favorite question about driving. “What do you do if you have a runaway?” The traditional answer, passed down from … Read more
