Horses, dogs, wild places, history, ecology, ethology, horses. Did I mention horses? Dogs? I am a writer of creative nonfiction.
Love this new addition to Wellington’s Waterfront.

An incredible trip into the Kaimanawa ranges … thanks to members of NZDF who hosted us … the horses are looking so well this spring, so many gorgeous foals. These are descendants of artillery horses turned out after WWI who started these herds. Now they are our taonga. Our responsibility.

Who needs fireworks when there’s a huge moon rising through the trees. Horses, dogs and this human are unimpressed.

Counting down the days, now, until I fly out to Ulaanbataar, on my way to the Gobi B Strictly Protected Area — three more weeks in Mongolia, with opportunities to see and study the takhi (Equus ferus przewalskii) living fully wild lives in their ancestral homeland!

Nothing's up. Just the sun going down behind the trees, bathing the winter paddocks with crazy green-gold light.

Happening now in America, the Gestapo has arrived.
We urge everyone who can resist, to resist.
And those who can't, stay safe through whatever means you can. Neighbors helping neighbors, it has begun.

Spot my friend, kōtare. This little fella has graced my days at the farm for a couple of years, elusive and solitary — until this year, when he's been joined by a female (a mate?). Kōtare!!

Can't get enough of watching young Whiskers explore her world. Today, checking out the oldest Totara tree on our farm, she licked and brushed her whiskers (vibrassae) at the tree's exposed root for several minutes, deeply engaged in her exploration. I love watching horses.

I love watching horses. When Whiskers and Freddie were reunited after months apart, they picked up where they left off ... Whiskers loved the little bridge to nowhere in the paddock where she was born. Returning to it 2 years later, she walks over, pausing to relish whatever feeling it provides.
