Nip & Duck: A Horse Journal

Horses are what Nip & Duck is about. I tackle stories about Thoroughbreds, backyard horses like my paint mares, colt starting contests, cowboys and even the mystery of Levi Rosaba. I hope you'll enjoy the ride. "Look back at our struggle for freedom; trace our present day's strength to its source. And you'll find that man's pathway to glory is strewn with the bones of the horse." Author Unknown.

About Me

Loren
I have one goal for everyday of my life and that is to make someone else's day a little brighter with a smile, a silly quip or just a kind word. It is something I promised my God that I would do. I have been blessed to have achieved a lot, but I am still just Loren, nothing special or extraordinary.
