Artist Sue Steiner writes about her horses and pets thru an artist’s eye.
We’ve been blessed with some beautiful weather! What a difference it makes when the sun comes out. The sun is shining and the air is clean and crisp. There is the promise of spring in the air. I have some new art in the works. The flicker of my muse is coming back [...]
Inside or Outside? Training my young, green horse outside of the ring first, rather than inside an arena has been a new experience for me. The other times I have worked with green horses has been to do mostly ring work first and then begin to venture out. Obviously this is the [...]

Trail rides, as in life can throw some unexpected obstacles in your way. My latest ride on Remmy proved to be a challenging one due to new and unforeseen obstacles not encountered before. We had to postpone our daily ride until the weather cleared the last several days since we had poor footing and mud [...]
