A New Chapter

Marilyn and I are beginning our barn adventure. Many hours creating plans, anticipating problems, narrowing down the best possible siting and orientation for the structure. Most of the decisions have been made and it is time to move forward. Joining us on this adventure is my good friend and general contractor Jaime Horta of Horta Builders, Santa Fe, NM. We have the utmost confidence in Jaime are thankful he is along for the ride.

My Cowboy Spirit came to life 30 Years ago in the Texas Panhandle. The West has been calling me since that time and expressed itself in my poetry and music. However, it had to wait! There was a career to pursue, children to raise, financial obligations to meet. We all know where the trail ends, but not how long the ride. So, at this point in my life it’s time to set the Cowboy Spirit free!

More time for my Cowgirl, horses, music and poetry. This next chapter begins on 15 secluded acres 10 miles South of Santa Fe, NM, that takes in views of the Sangre de Cristo, Sandia, and Jemez Mountains and the Cerrillos Hills. Marilyn and I are remodeling an existing home and building a barn for our horses. This compound will be known as the “RustyMare”! I’m inviting those who follow me to come along on the ride!
