I had spinal surgery on June 15th and am healing nicely.  My most recent book is out, The Passion for Horses and ArtisticTalent, An Unrecognized Connection, and is being well received. Western Horseman will be reviewing it. I am working on another book, a manual for veterinary personnel on handling equine patients. I will also be useful for anybody who has to doctor their own horses. I am also doing a new video on lameness, its causes and prevention.

Debby and I are looking forward to getting our palomino Morgan Mare, "Bea", shipped down here soon from Wolf Creek Ranch. She was generously given to us by Ellen DiBella to replace my wife's horse "Smokey" who was partially paralyzed in an accident. I've always loved Morgans. Now I own one!

We wish we could be in Lexington for the FEI World Equestrian Games, especially to see Eitan perform on Santa Fe Renegade, assuming I continue to heal from spinal surgery, we have a busy schedule.

August 2/3 I participate in a symposium on handling equine patients at the annual convention of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). That will be in Atlanta, GA.  Then a week later we fly to Hawaii for the annual Hawaii Horse Exposition on the Big Island. We love that event every August!  In Sept. we are doing seminars in Norway and Poland on Equine Behavior. In Oct. we been asked to judge the "Project Cowboy" in Fort Worth, a new event  produced by Tootie Bland of "Road to the Horse" fame.  And there goes the summer of 2010. More than anything else I look forward to riding again. I have really missed it.
