Here are Dolores and Lauraine driving their wonderful Morgans. Chuck rides along with Dolores and seems to enjoy it. I trained both of these horses to ride, and my dad, Wes Licht, trained Fitzer to drive. Lauraine has been training Reba to drive, and I’ve been helping out here and there with lessons.
Reba is Lauraine’s chestnut ...

Here are some video snippets of yesterday’s trail ride with Don the Andalusian. I’m riding one handed as I film these, and they are “uncut”, simply because I don’t know how to edit them. Please forgive me for the occasional repetition.

Okay, if you haven’t had a good laugh yet today, watch these videos. Diesel does a pretty good job, and after seeing these videos, I can see why he complains. I look ENORMOUS on him!

Have you been in Absolutely Art yet? It’s wonderful! And it’s next door to Cafe Zoma, so you can get a sandwich or coffee and see their rotating art exhibit as well. Here’s a little clip of Jeanne Ross, an amazing artist in her own right, hanging my prints on the wall for display. Absolutely Art is located at 2322 Atwood Ave. Madison, WI 53704.

Diesel has made lots of progress since he arrived. He drives outside nicely and he has been riding walk, trot, and canter indoors. He prefers driving to riding, but he is a good sport under saddle anyways.
I’ve got to get some footage of us riding, because we are quite a sight!
Diesel will go home early ...
