A Mother’s Day Prayer

On this fine spring morning, Lord, an extra special prayer;
It should be said on every morning for mothers everywhere,
A prayer that You’ll keep filling them with blessings from above,
The blessings being the blessings three of faith and hope and love.

The faith in You she passed along to me through every year,
The faith I cling to every day through laughter and through tears.
The faith she lives in how she lives in every little way,
The faith she passes on to everyone she sees each day.
In hope she brought me to this world, in hope we live evermore,
The hope we hold which places us with saints who’ve gone before.
Hope springs eternal through your Son that one day we’ll all be
At your right hand with all the saints for all eternity.

Countless loves she shared with me in good times and in bad,
A special love she’s always shared with her lifelong friend, my dad.
The gift of love you give to all is shone through all she does;
Give her your love, dear Lord, now that she sings with you above.

While visiting with many horse owners either by telephone or in person, I don’t look only at nutrition but also at nutrition management. Sometimes nutrition management can be the most important part of your program. There are many considerations that have to be taken into account, such as type of feed, work intensity, breed, discipline, stalled or not stalled, pasture or dry lot, and hay type, just name a few. Your personal schedule is also extremely important if you work outside of your home. As we all know, a horse’s digestive system is at its peak efficiency when consuming smaller meals. The small intestine, which averages 70’ in length, is

Ancestral DNA Endures

Our DNA story has been developing since the beginning of time. While environmental conditions played a part in who we are today, the human race is one race, and we are all connected to one another. Sometimes we discover new truths about our origins, different from what we expected through no fault of our own. On March 3, 2019, my life changed forever. My mother adopted me from birth, which makes this recent event in my life even more dynamic. Before her annual Christmas trip to Oregon, prior to COVID, she handed me a small attractive foiled box. Inside was an envelope and instructions for submitting an Ancestry DNA® test.

Here Comes The Sun

March is here and we are gearing up for a great year. I am so tired of hearing about 2020 being bad. A lot of great things happened to a lot of great people. If you are one of the folks who got bogged down, I feel terribly bad for you. I bet you can think of a number of things that were really good about 2020. Hearing all the negativity almost forced us to focus on the bad. I don’t focus on the bad. Why bother? It doesn’t do a darn bit of good — just digs your own hole deeper. I have always found March to be an
