Soup’s On!
Food and drinks are a life necessity that can be mundane or exotic. What we eat, when we eat and how we eat is both personal and generic; food can be creative, a backdrop to celebration, an expression of love to prepare, and a moment of mindfulness to consume.
With that in mind, Horse & Rider Living is dedicating space to the life necessity of food & drinks! Whether it’s a for eating around the campfire, a packed trail lunch, a holiday spread, or “just because”, we want you to send us your favorite food and beverage recipes, especially if they are equine-inspired (does it get more classic than a mint julep during Kentucky Derby season?). If there is a story behind the recipe, even better – we would love to hear it!

Refresh Yourself With a Ranch Water Cocktail!
By Barbara Godwin |
When most of us hear the term “ranch water”, we think of water pumped by windmills, or galvanized water containers made for cattle and big enough to swim in. But Texans love Ranch Water as a different kind of drink. Go to a local bar – especially in West Texas – and ask for Ranch Water, and it will be served without a second thought.
