Kate + Ponies column I was taken aback the other day by how a good-natured pony could have a sudden, huge attitude change. Let me explain a little about this pony. Her name is Buttercup and she is always trying to please. She never tries things that she knows she shouldn’t do. Once when she…
Kate + Ponies Column They say that horses, like humans, are creatures of habit. They find comfort in doing the same things over and over. I have found this to be quite true, especially when training horses. Horses, because they are prey animals, tend to be untrusting toward humans when you first start training them….
Kate + Ponies Column I think I have a disease. You may have it too. The reason I think I have it is because a normal person wouldn’t go through the insane range of emotions I do over one thing. My thing is horses. They make me want to rip my hair out one moment…
Kate + Ponies Column I recently had a “Sherlock Holmes” experience. I was taking a student up on our property on West Mountain for a trail ride for her lesson. As we ambled up the trail, I noticed several sets of hoofprints on the trail on our property. I hadn’t ridden up there yet and…

Kate + Ponies column A horse is not a motorcycle. Let’s first get that straight. Horse, motorcycle, different. Although both can be ridden, and yes, controlled, they are very, very different. For example, if I were to kick a motorcycle really hard right near the back wheel, not much would happen. If I were to…
column by Kate Healey Among my random mix of horses and ponies, I have a black miniature named Denny. Denny is extremely fat. When I bought him from a nice family in Draper last month, he was morbidly obese. I’m talking oil-drum-with-legs obese. I’ve since put him on a strict diet of literally one handful…
Imagine a beautiful, flower-patterned shirt. This particular shirt has ribbon trimming and is made from very expensive fabric, the kind you like to rub against your cheek. The print looks like a watercolor painting, with maroon, pink, and deep blue swirled together perfectly.Now, imagine that shirt being ripped into several pieces.A couple weeks ago, I…
