PK's First Blog

Sitting here looking out at my incredible ranch ( of course, being from Texas, it would be called a speck), I can only think of one person...Mindy Bower( who starts colts and works with problem horses and their owners) and her Uh-Oh Ranch. People come into our lives or we bring them into our lives for all sorts of reasons, there are no coincidences. We are the lucky ones! Many times I have thought that she doesn't get acknowledged enough ( not that she wants or needs it!) In fact, just the opposite, she shies away from it. Mindy has discovered/helped to launch several successful careers: Emily Kitching of The Eclectic Horseman, Karmel Timmons( artist) and Ray Arthun (saddlemaker) . Having said that, she is THE reason that I am sitting here(hopefully myself working toward a successful career). She is an extraordinary person, an exceptional horse person. She teaches you about horses...about life.. to open your eyes and pay attention! She expects...and demands perfection. Not everyone can hang with her. It is tough, sometimes. She definitely 'tells it like it is'...sometimes as it isn't, but usually she is RIGHT. Ok.. so that is my little story. Throughout my blogs, you will hear about Mindy, and know who she is.

Living on the ranch with my husband, three wonderful Quarter Horse mares( thanks to Mindy), two steers, two dogs, I am a fortunate one! And, yes, I adore the out of doors! Before you go, check out my website: www.prairiekaren.com.
