When I was a youth, 365 days seemed like a literal eternity. It might as well have been a million years in my inexperienced mind.

But amateur rider Jessica Crannell-Menard is hoping to change the perception that the breed can only pull a cart. Six years ago she purchased her first Clydesdale stallion to […]
I could feel the grit settling in the creases of my eyes after a long day standing at the in-gate. The AC in my truck was acting up and starting to blow less-than-cold air on my sunburnt face as I fumbled to answer my phone. Which, if you know me, I don’t do often. If […]
“Really” may seem like a strange name for a horse, but there’s a good reason for it.
