August 22, 2015 Comments Off on Sister Act Part 2: Cameron and Peyton Crenwelge
Abbie Crenwelge is thoughtful as she’s cruising through the night in the family’s RV, eight hours into a twenty-hour trip from their ranch in Comfort, Texas to The Buckeye Classic in Ohio. “Yes, it’s a long drive, but this is what it’s all about,” she says. “We have our kids for eighteen years, and then they’re off to college and on to their own lives.

While American Pharoah is certainly the glory boy of the duo, having become the 12th Triple Crown winner and the first since Affirmed in 1978, it’s his best bud, Smokey, who’s gaining quite a bit of attention.

August 20, 2015 Comments Off on Ranch Horse Riding Fundamentals – Part 2
