By Mitch Endick

The Saluki is a beautiful, regal and royal dog. They can be a bit aloof, especially to people that they do not know well. They tend to be a one family or a one person dog.

A couple of years ago I was going to one of those really great Indiana Trail Riders weekends down at Brown county State park.

I had pulled in about Ten AM on a site that was along the road. While setting up camp, four couples pulled in on the opposite side of my camp. Looked to me that they might have been on the road a while as they staggered out of their rigs and were quite stiff as they got around to their chores of setting up camp….

I had made a resolution late last year that I wanted to ride as many new places as I could in the upcoming year. New challenges were needed in that I’ve ridden everything locally so many times that they had become old hat. Inspiration had also come to me by my good friend Greg Hersberger who several years ago said he planned to ride every horse location in the state of Indiana and since has done that….

by Kelvin Ho

Traditional veterinary medicine, much like in the human world, is often based on treating symptoms rather than the cause, or the underlying problem. Alternative horse therapies, on the other hand, are ancient forms of treatment that take a holistic approach to the whole body, mind, and spirit of the horse, to treat the underlying causes of problems manifesting in the body, and promote an overall sense of well being….
