Enjoy this post from a very bright student with whom I enjoy exchanging ideas… Hey all! Sounds like Jenn is having an absolute blast at Buck Brannaman’s clinic this weekend (very much look forward to her posts!), so this Colorado cowgirl is lucky enough (woohoo!!!) to get to write a guest post for her. So, [...]
I’m still in answer mode, so y’all should strike while the iron is hot! Heather’s first question: I have read your mentions about the reservation. I have looked up Hope, SD. Do you actually live ON the Indian Reservation or is it just close by like I saw on the map? Are the Indian Reservations [...]
Previously we’ve looked at Arguments 1 and 2, in favor of closing the horse processing facilities. And if you missed the introduction, or the post that defined animal rights vs. animal welfare, you might want to catch up before reading this one! Today we’ll tackle Argument 3 (from this report)- that horse owners will do [...]
This is the second part in our series about the horse industry, so if you missed the introduction or part one, you might want to read those first. I also want to take this moment to make the distinction between “animal rights” and “animal welfare”. I am, as I said earlier this week, pro-animal welfare. [...]
I have decided to do a weekly, to bi-weekly post, at least until I feel like I’ve exhausted my resources, on the current state of the Horse Industry. As an industry professional, I think it’s important that public become educated on policies that they have helped perpetuate either directly or indirectly. Maybe you’re not in the horse [...]
I’m a horseman. A dog and cat owner. A rancher’s girlfriend. A lover and eater of beef. All of those things that I just listed are choices I make. And last I checked I’m free to make those choices. I’m not breaking any laws by doing so. This week’s spin is on opinions, and while [...]
It’s really been kind of a crazy weekend. Simply by chance, and not by any doing of our own choice, really. If you’ll recall, I said last week the weather was turning bad. Thursday brought snow and cold. Friday was more of the same – only it snowed ALL day and we now have 8-12 [...]
Forget for a moment that you’re a democrat, republican, independent, moderate, or libertarian.Forget for a moment that you’re either a liberal or a conservative; a social liberal a fiscal conservative or a social conservative and fiscal liberal or any other combination.Forget. For. A. Moment. Think about how you live your life on a daily basis.Think [...]
On February 17th, this blog had over 4,000 visitors. FOUR THOUSAND! Yesterday it was close to 3,000. What did I write about that created that much buzz? Not that I’m complaining. I’m just wondering what people found interesting? I mean deep down, I totally long to have a blog as popular as say, oh, the [...]
This is an interesting perspective on the current state of the economy. I really sometimes wonder if I should not have an economics degree instead of a marketing degree. Economics fascinates me (and in college I was good at it). Maybe that is why I pay attention and/or get so worked up about these things. [...]
