Autumn may be winding down, but ENM is just getting hotter. I get excited every month to see each new issue unfold. And this month I am very impressed with the diversity and the quantity of interesting articles.

To try and describe every article in this short synopsis would be futile, but I am excited about having many disciplines, many breeds and many different subjects covered. This issue features articles about cowboy mounted shooting, the elegance of dressage, Roman Cossack riding, driving, a trip to Ireland, grooming tips, preparing for winter, wound management, a Trojan horse, fantasy horses and real-life touching stories. We have humor and moments of tears, the story of a frail mustang foal that saved a human's life, the Lusitano breed, how to keep boarding enjoyable, dealing with the loss of horse, and the town of Kalamazoo's Mounted Unit.

We are also excited that Frank Bell has joined our writing team and will be sharing his amazing stories of horses he has worked with and learned from. In this issue, Julie Goodnight teaches us equitation and Jerry Tindell shows us how to get a horse to stand like a statue. Baxter Black describes his "Kinda Truck" and Linda Tellington-Jones tells the amazing story of EEG's on a horse receiving TTouch. Bob Smith discusses the care of quarter cracks and, believe it or not, there is even more.
