Sarah owns and operates a continuation of her parents’ original business, Winfield Farm & Forge, Ltd., that which couldn’t currently exist without constant gratitude for Kevin, her very forgiving, ridiculously supportive husband. Together, they are quietly beginning to explore the Farm’s newest
chapters, both in and out of the horse world. They are returning to Sarah’s family roots, this time as breeders of Arabian/Welsh Sport Ponies for dressage and carriage while husband and wife indulge their pent up creativity producing a variety of rustic décor and iron work.
Death-Defying Adventure (Continued) I growled a throaty warning at the crabby cow, then landed a walloping slap to the top of her croup. Surprised, she leapt forward, halting awkwardly on the incline. Are you serious? I can’t have one vacation weekend without wrangling some stupid horse actin’ a fool?

Stay tuned for next month’s dramatic continuation in Part 2! Sarah Vas, a second-generation horsewoman, writes about her decades of adventure and mayhem among several breeds and disciplines, and countless equine educational endeavors both as student and teacher.
