One Amazing Thing I've Done
Infantry Combat Medic in the American war in Vietnam. I survived the stoned age in America - the 1970's. I do not use drugs, alcohol or nicotine. I sailed the Caribbean, did 3 long tours of Europe on a Harley Davidson Motorcycle. I have been trail riding my horse in 18 of the 50 United States. Trying for all 50 states with the same horse. There are boats in Bodega Bay California where you can send your horse to Hawaii.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach and learn more about horses. Through horses we can learn more about ourselves and put our soul in better condition. The Buddhists recognize a correlation between their practices and those of horse whisperers' and both work for me. I would like to continue to share my experience, strength and hope for overcoming personal adversities. Helping and teaching English and ways to happiness.
My Interests
Horses of any discipline, such as trail riding, cowboy mounted shooting, rodeos, field trails, endurance, jumping, etc.
