About the Project:

This website was created and constructed as partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Master's Degree in Rangeland Ecology and Management at the University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho.  The thesis in its entirety may be viewed at:

http://www.cnr.uidaho.edu/range/ThesesAndDissertations.htm

I have had a lifelong relationship with, and respect for, the equine species, beginning with the farm horses of my youth.  My involvement with them has covered showing, working and moving cattle, training and finishing, running trail rides and driving a stagecoach, Sheriff's Posse, barrel racing, team roping, and introducing young people to these wonderful creatures. 

The opportunity to create this project was a gift in many ways, though the road to it was long and often painful.  It awarded me the possibility to: work with a subject dear to my heart, develop materials to reach people who may be desperate for immediate answers, fill a need for concise and accurate information sources, warn horse owners about inaccuracies in existing publications, and most of all, return something to rangelands and to this very special species that has given me innumerable hours of friendship and loyalty.

If, through these materials, I am able to prevent even one tragic occurrence of plant toxicity in an equine, as well as to make even a small contribution to the rangelands resource, every dollar invested in and each minute dedicated to this project will have been well worthwhile.
