The Horse: The Alpha Mare Speaks!

About Kimberly

I’m a life-long horsewoman. I learned at a young age on my grandparents farm that with enough grain and baling twine, you can catch any horse. Both of my daughters share in my love of horses, especially the oldest one, who now lives in Wyoming with her two Quarter Horses and her mule (which was her college graduation present from me along with this tidbit: “This mule can teach you things about life that I can’t.”). I’m an officer and founding member of the 501(c)(3) Friends of the Lexington Mounted Police, was a founding member of the Kentucky Committee of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, and am on the board of the American Horse Publications national organization of equine print and electronic media. I live on a small farm in Kentucky with my musician husband, Ben, two Miniature Horses, a Miniature Donkey (a rescue), goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. My oldest daughter has promised me a new riding horse this summer. Stay tuned.

Those of us who keep horses at home are faced with time crunches to just keep up with the horses we have on the property now and keep our day jobs that pay the bills! We hardly have time to ride for all the "caretaking" that goes on. Why in the world would we take...

Thoroughbred Adoption Services; We Love Good News!

I LOVE it when TheHorse.com can make a difference. That's why most of us are doing what we do every day. When we started the Thoroughbred Adoption Services it was at the behest of Antony Beck, owner of Gainesway Farm, a large Thoroughbred farm in Kentucky. He was worried that there would be Thoroughbreds that were unwanted in that industry, but would be great for some other use. So we started the...
