Welcome Back My Friends, To The Show That Never Ends...

... my apologies to Emerson Lake & Palmer for the technical plagiarism of lyrics for this title, but it just seemed fitting.

Once again, it's been a very long time since I've been here, and one more time I am going to restart this journey. Life kept getting in the way, and I am not apologizing for that.

Finally, during 2022, I had the opportunity to publish the Laying The Foundation book, which was so exciting for me after all these years of writing. Since 1994, I'd been collecting my musings, and to finally put them into book form was an accomplishment I'm very proud of.

This coming year it will be 30 years since I began putting pen to paper in creating the first articles from which that book, and this blog, emanate. Thirty years of writing about horses, horse training, and all things equestrian -- and that's pretty exciting!

I'll also be celebrating many other milestones come 2024:

50 years of showing horses.

45 years of training horses professionally.

40 years of teaching horseback riding lessons professionally.

15 years since founding the Southern California Equine Emergency Evacuation Network.

But, I digress. Indeed, welcome back to this hallowed place where we talk about horses and best practices in training them, showing them, as well as all things in between.

Oh, and Happy New Year!
