If you own a horse, you are likely familiar with Coggins testing.  Numerous horses come by our clinic each year for this annual ritual. I find that while many owners know that the test is required and have had it performed on their horses numerous times, they still have questions about what the test is really for and why it is necessary.

It’s wedding season, at least for all my friends it seems. I’ve been to several weddings so far this year, and have plans for several more this fall. One wedding was out in Lubbock, Texas, so I spent half a Saturday here recently, driving west through some of the most barren, desolate land I’d ever seen. We’re talking 30 miles of nothing.

For the first time in my journalist life, I am sitting down with anger and disgust in my heart and voice.
