During this three year experiment, I discovered my purpose as a writer. And I found a lot of folks out there who either share my interests or who make interesting and informed contributions to conversations about those interests. Shared biology, neurobiology, psychology, neuropsychology, sociology and equine behavior as they relate to human-equine interactions, specifically training, with a focus on the sensory system, will be my focus.

In the interest of furthering my knowledge about those topics, I’m planning on posting a series of topics and questions that I sincerely hope you all will respond to. In the eventuality that this work leads to a publication, anyone who responds here or via email will be duly credited.

I’m looking to confirm hosts for July, August, and September. And don’t forget to send me your entries!

“America’s guest ranches may not bill themselves as “eco-destinations,” but most are “green” without making a big fuss about it. Some are off the grid, many serve produce from their organic gardens and beef from home-raised herds in their dining rooms, others participate in wildlife conservation or use cattle for prescriptive grazing programs. One thing they all have in common is a commitment to preserving the wilderness areas of America and sharing that passion with their guests. What could be greener?”

Yet hurricane season coincides with the rainy season in Haiti, and this spells disaster for the millions of people displaced by the earthquake there. Forbidden to go and help with the relief effort by my surgeon, al I can do is spend my evenings knitting Comfort Dolls in the hopes that receiving a small possession will bring some comfort to a child in need. The need in Haiti has not gone away.

Things have slowed way down recently. I wonder how long it will take?
