The road to Earlshall led through woods that belonged to the earl; the sound came in that direction, and I hoped it might be some one coming in search of us.

He also visits with Scottish dog trainer Jack Knox about his methodology behind training herding dogs (we simply adore Border Collies!).

More than anything budding horse artists need time to practice and an endless stream of paints or pencils with which to pursue their passion. While it doesn’t always directly involve a lot of contact with the animal itself, it should.
