From the Journal
The Journal is where we write down what we have learned along the way, honest, practical notes on choosing, trying, vetting and living with good sport horses. Some pieces are detailed guides, others are shorter lessons or stories from the road. There is no sales pitch here, just the kind of knowledge we wish someone had shared with us when we were starting out, written for anyone who takes the search for the right horse seriously.
