Horses

Close your eyes and try to imagine the ideal place where you can have a private oasis and enjoy your horses, too. There's a place in Camp Point, Illinois where that is a possibility.

If the word "equestrian" makes you feel all warm inside, then I have found a Missouri place that will make the horse lover in you swoon. It's a gorgeous Missouri horse farm that's located not far from the Mississippi River.

If you have a heart for horses and love the Missouri Ozarks, I found something you'll likely want to see. It's a breathtaking horse ranch that is nestled in one of the most beautiful parts of Missouri.

If you have the pennies to make it happen, one of the most expensive homes currently available in Missouri is truly a horse-lover's dream and I have the pictures to prove it.

I have to confess that I didn't know this is possible, but it is. There are reports that two race horses at a track in Illinois are confirmed to have herpes. I now know more than I ever wanted to know about horse diseases.

I've been a radio personality for more than 40 years and I know a thing or two about frequency, but apparently I did not know enough. I've learned that there is a place in Illinois you can go to where a horse will help you fix your 'frequency' and I'm not kidding even a little bit.

You have likely heard of West Nile virus in mosquitos and sometimes people. What you might not hear very often is West Nile virus in people, but that's exactly what's been discovered in one Oregon County, Missouri horse.

I've always been a fan of the underdog. That's why I appreciate places that I consider hidden gems in Missouri. One of my favorites is a part of the state that is canvased by deep springs, waterfalls and also wild horses.

Sometimes you just need an innocent animal moment to get you through your day. If you're in that place, I have something for you. It's a Missouri Golden Retriever that has managed to convince a bunch of tiny ponies to be his friend.

It's hard to imagine that someone would take the time and resources required to obtain a horse only to abuse and neglect the animal, but that sadly happens more than you'd probably think. There's one place in Missouri that provides a safe haven for these abused and neglected animals and their effort is something you can be a part of, too.
