Everything Horses and Livestock Magazine
“CONVERGING PATHS”
All of us here at EHAL try our best to bring
our readers an informative, educational and fun
magazine. Our contributors have traveled their own
paths and have their own life stories that shaped
their views and attitudes. They have, however, one
thing in common. All have passion and love for all
animals and their welfare.
Our editor, Jana Barcus, has a knack for finding
contributors from various facets of the horse and
livestock world. Our articles come from trainers
and exhibitors from many equine disciplines, from
therapists, nutritionists, veterinarians, educators,
farriers, realtors with horse properties, and boarding
businesses. The list grows with each issue.
Their adventures, education, experiences and
goals have somehow brought them all together
under the EHAL umbrella at this particular time
in their lives. Like me, you may wonder how this
happened. I believe part of the reasons has
something to do with the fact that EHAL gives
them an open and unbiased venue to share their
passions and ideas.
For me I now have more time to pursue goals
that I set aside earlier in life. Jana’s vision for this
magazine has inspired me to write again. What
was once tedious is now fun. I truly admire others’
stories and how horses impacted their lives. I
believe I can learn something new and useful from
everyone I encounter on my “path.”
We also hope you take the time to get
acquainted with our newest contributors and what
they have to offer to the equine world. Their contact
information generally follows their articles. These
contributors include Wendy Wiseman, a certified
equine sports massage therapist, Kelly Behnke, a
myofascial release therapist, Shane Irwin, a young
trainer and exhibitor who has excelled under the
mentorship of Corky Cochran, and Shannon Rowl
with the Kansas CMSA group who shares their
passion for mounted shooting.
Please let us know if you want information about
a specific topic, equine breed or breed association,
discipline or ANYTHING horse-related.
EHAL will do its best to bring you what you want
to read and learn about.
Remember “Life is a Journey, Enjoy the Ride!”
