articles in RIDE magazine (A free California horse magazine); on starting 
colts, including some very detailed info on giving to the bit and reining.  
For the last year; there have been a series of articles in HORSE AND RIDER, 
called Bringing up Baby, which deal with handling weanlings. >>

I don't know about "RIDE!" but rest assured that John is well paid for his 
articles in HORSE AND RIDER, as well as in the vast majority of publications. 
 

Don't get me wrong--I feel that people SHOULD be paid for offering their 
expertise.  But it is not accurate to portray material printed in magazines 
as "free" from the author--I also do a bit of free-lance writing, and while 
the pay is more dependent upon the circulation and income of the magazine 
than it is upon the effort put forth in the writing, articles nonetheless are 
paid for by the magazines that print them.
