My spurs are still jingling from the American Horse Publications (AHP) Conference in Texas! Over the course of three days, I visited the Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, rode a Longhorn at the Fort Worth Stock Yards, found a HUGE fork, and spent time learning from and networking with incredible equine creatives! It was a joy to be back in the saddle attending this conference in person. Here's a recap from the event featuring a mini-movie of my adventures.
