About Me

Linda
I am a woman who loves horses: talking, writing, thinking, daydreaming, and obsessing about them. We have nine on our little ranch: Cowboy, Beautiful Girl, Leah, Cowgirl, Little Joe, Lily, Foxy Mama, Tumbleweed, and the newest addition, Epona, who survived pharyngeal dysfunction as a newborn foal.

Ride A Wild Horse

What do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver.


Ride a wild horse
against the sky
hold tight to her wings
before you die
whatever else you leave undone—
once ride a wild horse
into the sun.

Hannah Kahn
