Florida Equine Athlete: September 2026

In the September 2026 edition of the Florida Equine Athlete: - Joyce Meyer talks about letting patience solve your problems and learn how to behave the same way when things are going well as when they aren't so good.- Gina McKnight interviews Author, Catherine Ulrich Brakefield who is, a lifelong horsewoman and celebrated storyteller. Her work carries the unmistakable imprint of someone who has spent years listening closely - to history, to the land, to her horses, and to God. Her novels blend faith-driven storytelling with equine insight, creating worlds where courage, compassion, and grace rise from the everyday rhythms of life.- Melissa Greer, PhD continues her PhD dissertation discussion Women Athlete and Entrepreneurs and begins Chapter 4 with Data Collection and Analysis discussing the start of the first research question of "Are Women Athlete Entrepreneurs and Women Business Entrepreneurs Successful?"- Rachel Kosmal McCart, Equine Legal Solutions, advises to not get taken for a ride when buying a horse. She gives examples of horse sale fraud warning signs.- Juliet Getty, PhD, Getty's Equine Nutrition, writes about Colostrum which is an overlooked issue for horse's gut health.- Tina Spangler, TLC Barrel Racing and Horsemanship Clinics - discusses alleyway issues.- There are two months (September and October) of barrel racing and roping dates for Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. I strongly advise calling, to verify, the event(s) before hauling to make sure it is a go, if rescheduled; or, if have a location change. I do not always find out about cancellations, reschedules, etc. If I do find any information changes in time, I will update it on the barrel racing schedule of events link and/or the Roping Schedule of Events link for that specific week it is scheduled, at floridaequineathlete.com.
