    It was Ronnie Patton’s kind of funeral. Just too damn bad it had to be his.

  • Saving horses: It’s no longer ‘in lieu,’ it’s ‘in lunacy’

    Posted on September 14, 2014November 5, 2014

  • You can lead a horse to people, but can you make them think?

    The horse problem: It’s a mess. Driven by drought, compounded by economy, hampered by restraints on government, totally confused by emotions.It’s going to take some thinking, by reasonable adults, to fix it.

    An endurance ride over the Santa Fe National Forest’s Caja del Rio Plateau, where the horses matter more than the riders, and everybody’s a winner.

    So who says you can’t teach old dogs new tricks? Don’t try to tell Roscoe the orangutan anything of the sort. All you’ve got to do is be his buddy, and he’ll do anything for you…

    Just exactly what is it that we think we know about animals? Consider the elk and the marmot.
