A Life with Horses
by Karen Pickering, NWHS Publisher
I’m very excited to bring you this new section. It’s all about our life with horses. Whether you board your horse or live on a 100-acre ranch, we all have one thing in common – we love horses and the lifestyle that surrounds them. As a little girl all I could think about was horses and I never outgrew that passion!
We will be bringing you some new content, new ideas, and all things related to the life we live with horses. Send in your suggestions and ideas. This is all for you – our readers and advertisers!
Happy New Year!
