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.
