When I moved to Saratoga Springs ten years ago, riding a horse probably wouldn’t have cracked the top 20 items on my bucket list (if I actually had such a thing).

Now 10 years later, not only do I own 2 horses and ride them every day, but most of my friends are also “horse people”. I have come to know them as “The New Cowboys”. These Cowboys are regular people, with regular jobs, who ride, rope, chase cows and anything else horse related, whenever they can.

You’ll be meeting many more “New Cowboys” in future posts. I’d really appreciate it if you can leave a comment below!
Thanks for looking.
