How Thirty Years in Publishing—and a Lifelong Love of Horses—Continue to Shape What Comes Next I sometimes wonder how I’ve managed to not miss a single editorial column in 30 years. No matter what I’m going through in my life, the magazine is always the priority. I love the magazine …
Commitment, No More Excuses I decided to write more on the subject of “No Time to Ride” which I discussed in my September editorial. I had a great deal of response to this article, which makes me feel there are many of you who relate to the struggle. When I …
The Joys of the Golden Years It ain’t for sissies. Life’s journey is not always what we expect. If I could give some advice to my younger self, it would be to save money. If I had put away $100 per month when I was in my 20s I would …
