Yesterday Varacchi hit the ol’ dusty trail and saddled up for some horseback riding! I headed out to Circle A Riding Stable in Howell as a surprise birthday gift for my girlfriend. She had never gone riding before (despite her 40% Native American heritage) so I thought this would be something nice, and I’m just [...]
