Podcast: https://www.zoomerradio.ca/podcasts/by-the-love-of-horses/flying-changes/ On Sunday May 2nd at 10 AM EDT we welcomed Horse Woman Marie-Lynn Hammond. Marie-Lynn has had a long career in the Canadian folk music scene. Born to an English-speaking Father and a French speaking Mother, Marie-Lynn Hammond you might say is a Canadian in a very special way.

Our guest on Sunday, April 25th, is Tom Morgan, Founder of The Equestrianists organization.

Tentative, almost imperceptible, the light penetrates as far as it can into the barn’s otherwise heavy, wooden, darkness. You might say you have to have a measure of faith just to believe that it’s there. The exact moment of the light’s earliest appearance is not that easily located.
