Well, I’ve been missing in action for the last few weeks… life has been a whirlwind lately! On May 19, Asali and I had a photo shoot with Jo Danehy for Sharon Miner’s upcoming book, the next in her Beloved Horse Series. Sharon contacted me several weeks ago asking if she could feature Asali and […]
