If You’re looking for perfection…
turn around
If you’re looking for perfection, this blog is not for you.
But if you’re here for real, messy, human stories—stories that might just spark something in your own journey—then welcome aboard. I’m sharing my honest attempt to navigate the wild evolution of my life—through the pursuit of horsemanship and the horses who’ve shaped me, the ups and downs of life and health, the adventures of travel, and the lessons of teaching.
These tales come straight from my real-life experiences, written by my actual fingers on the keyboard, typos and all. Everyone is entitled to their own evolution, and this is mine—raw, real, and unfiltered. I’d love for you to stay and explore—maybe you’ll find a piece of your own journey reflected here.
the evolution of a girl

The blog
I started writing a Horsemanship Blog 2003. This is the written accounting of my evolution.

What about the horses?
the heartbeat
This is where my horse-heart beats extra.
Wild mustang diaries, my signature horses, my continuing education moments.
This journey is traditionally a bit of a roller coaster. (Which btw, I do not prefer!) Every post is as real as possible. The process, lack of perfection, progress and soul food.
Theory?
a mind on fire
This journey is traditionally a bit of a roller coaster. (Which btw, I do not prefer!)
The Theory, to me, encompasses the philosophy and the spiritual dynamics of Horsemanship.
The big ideas and deep concepts will be here.
Adventure Hunting?
Of course
Traveling all over our country has been a grand adventure.
Meeting the people, seeing the little microcosms in the horse world. Getting into completely unexpected places and experiences got additive very quickly.
Creativity Hunting, Road Stories and Travel Tips will be here.
Health?
It’s a lifestyle
One of my favorite things about living The Pursuit of Horsemanship is it’s wholistic effect on my life.
It’s a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual experience.
My own evolution towards overall health has been a wonderful side effect. I have learned to give the healthy lifestyle part, it’s due.
As my Dad says: Remember, resting is part of it! My fav health hacks will be here.
