Preakness Stakes 2022: Race Day Odds, Best Bets, And Epicenter’s “Sure” Shot At The Win
If a horse race — repeat, a horse race — can be said to reflect anything like what we call “conventional wisdom,” then the $1.5-million 2022 Preakness is that race, and the low odds on top favorite Epicenter is the numerical equivalent of the thinking. Mind you, this is two blisteringly short weeks after the tougher, longer and altogether revolutionary 2022 Kentucky Derby, in which exactly zero “conventional wisdom” could be found as the today’s Preakness favorite Epicenter got blazed in the last furlong by the 80-1 longshot phenom Rich Strike.

The cover image is not of Blu, but is my stallion, Marvelous Mister Mark, enjoying his paddock last weekend the morning after the ice storm. That was messy! Beautiful, but messy. Now it’s warm and getting sloppy. Still messy, but in a much more encouraging way.

A Journey of Intention Discovered through Horses - Part 9
I’m sitting here, inside, listening to the wind howl and rattle the house. Will winter ever go away this year? Every time I go out the door, I hear nickers and the horses start pacing. They know it’s grain time. At least I know I’m still loved (lol!) They all look healthy, so I am grateful for that.

Equine Misconceptions: Horse Feed
Horses sleep standing up. If a horse lays down, they're dying. Horses need grain to live. If a horse colics, walk them or their gut will twist. Old horses must be retired and can't be ridden. Horses need to be sedated when their teeth are floated. A harsher bit is a better bit. You should start riding a horse when they are 2 years old.

Using Horses to Define Community
Growing up in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, my childhood consisted of horse games with my friends such as tag, racing, jumping off the horse into the creek down the road, and pretending we were bandits on the run. Out of the horses that my family had, half of them were unwanted rescue horses that my mom found for me to work and the other half were ones I raised and trained born out of these rescues or other horses we owned. Due to my father being a crop dusting pilot, we grew up in rural areas where my dad had a good relationship with landowners who let us live on their cattle ranches with our horses. Therefore, we were able to have our horses on range land without actually owning it.

A Brilliant Jewel Before the start of the auction, Darcy and her dad had scoped out the horses being offered in the sale. She merrily drowns in the overpowering scent of horses, and revels in the overwhelming sounds of conversation as people discussed horses and potential purchases. The father-daughter pair spoke to the owners of a few prospects, including the handler of an ornery, black filly, who showed them his horse by leading her gruffly from the stall. When he attempted to lay his hands on her to point out the mare’s excellent conformation, she struck out with a hind foot and squealed. She missed the man, but made her point. He spoke a few angry-toned words before standing insecurely by her head in his dirty sweatshirt and unkempt beard. He fumbled with the lead rope as he hesitantly answered their questions. They were skeptical of is honesty when they asked the mare’s age, training and temperament.

A Journey of Intention Discovered through Horses - Part 8
“Do your best until you know better. Then. when you know better, do better.” – Maya Angelou It’s mid-January, and I’m chomping at the bit to ride my horses again. It’s been months, I think! The forecast teased me saying around 30F degree temps, but changed it to colder two days later. It turned out to be mid-20’s and windy. Not my thing. I stayed in the house. And now it’s supposed to get even colder again-like single digits and negatives. So, I don’t ride. I stay antsy indoors and I think too much. My physical limitations keep me basically housebound when there’s too much snow or ice or cold.
