,St. Jude Children's Hospital OK, so it's been more than a year (by 3 days) since I've blogged. I guess I've been busy! Let me re-cap my year; I rode Mr. Peabody, fought off snowstorms, buckets of rainfall, and 2 floods. I did tons of photography, and have been working on re-inventing 2 businesses. I met ...
The much awaited announcement is here. The winner of the 1st Find Mr. Peabody more Fans on Facebook Contest Number 1 is... Ok, first the contest. 14 of my Facebook fans suggested to all their friends that they "like" Where's Mr. Peabody. Mr. P's fans increased by 40 % over 3 weeks. The contestants did this ...
I hadn't owned a vehicle with a trailer until about a year ago. Seeing how Mr. Peabody and Leroy are too big to put in the back of my Jeep, I went out on Craig's list, bought myself a nice, used, Kingston 2 horse trailer, and am going about my business of using it. I ...

I've been taking lessons with George Peters at the Win$um Ranch for a few months. Wednesday (lesson day) is easily the best day of my week. George, a retired school teacher, excellent rider & roper and human being, has given me so much confidence when I am riding Mr. Peabody, that my entire horse riding ...
My wife, Lu, and I started our horse back riding "career" at Dream Catcher Ranch under the guidance, of Denise Flewelling several years ago. One of the friends we made at the ranch was Denise G. Denise G was an advanced rider by ...
Two summers ago, when my wife Lu and I were working on getting Mr. Peabody and Leroy home (no Jerry yet!), we temporarily boarded at a barn about a mile from our house. There we met Amanda DeSarbo (North Country Horses) and her gang of show-riders. Not sure gang is appropriate, as they ...
I had this little bit of video from last weeks Leroy Whip "class". It seemed a shame to leave it on the cutting room floor. I guess this is the directors cut. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52qIDYJp5j0
