SILVER SCREEN COWBOYS AND THEIR HORSES (AND A DOG) – TOM CURLEY

Marilyn and Garry wrote a blog about watching one of their favorite movies, "Rustler’s Rhapsody." It’s also one of my favorite movies. They introduced it to me. I’ve seen it dozens of times, and I love introducing it to any friend who hasn’t seen it before. It’s a very loving parody of all the great western … Continue reading SILVER SCREEN COWBOYS AND THEIR HORSES (AND A DOG) – TOM CURLEY

GETTING TO KNOW ME? DON’T YOU ALREADY KNOW TOO MUCH?

I haven't been doing much with challenges. But the first question got me. You mean, I can choose a HORSE? I totally love horses and if my spine wasn't a disaster zone, I'd still be riding. I've been writing about me and mine for 13 years. I can't believe anyone doesn't know me already but … Continue reading GETTING TO KNOW ME? DON’T YOU ALREADY KNOW TOO MUCH?

May is that kind of month. Full of newness and the first warm days of spring after a hard cold winter.

THE BLACK STALLION

If I'm going to be in a movie, I say -- bring on the horses! I grew up yearning for a horse and devoured any book about them. My favorites books were the Walter Farley's Black Stallion series. I probably read the book so many times its cover fell apart. All through my childhood, Walter Farley … Continue reading THE BLACK STALLION

DOWN ON THE FARM

There were other problems among them that farmers got old and their kids didn't want to be farmers. Lucky for … Continue reading DOWN ON THE FARM

For … Continue reading WALKING SQUARE 12

MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS – GARRY ARMSTRONG

I just finished reading the definitive biography of legendary film director, John Ford. It's a wonderful read by Scott Eyman who specializes in biographies of Hollywood legends. "Pappy" Ford, of course, was the master of western films -- from the memorable silent oaters of Harry Carey to the resilient westerns of John Wayne. Ford's "The … Continue reading MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS – GARRY ARMSTRONG
