Since I was a little girl, I wanted a horse. I was almost 40 years old when Fanny was given to me, and her training changed my life. There have been other horses since, but Fanny's story and the spiritual message I found within the horse and rider experience is the basis for my first book, Sometimes a Woman Needs a Horse! This book is a slice of autobiography, a handbook for new horse owners and a spiritual guide for equestrians. It is a discussion of parallels between horse training and Christian discipleship. Readers will share the excitement of competitive trail riding and the amazing influence of Sally Swift's basic Centered Riding principles. This is also a story of escape from a marriage lacking in connection, to wonderful partnership with a special horse.
My second book, published in February, 2008, is MARES! (ya gotta LOVE em)...Fifty Stories to Aid and Inspire Mare Owners. This is a collection of horse stories from 39 mare owners including myself, about those special mares that have touched our hearts. It deals with "mare prejudice" and offers help with those issues pertaining to moody mare behavior. We can't "fix" them, but we can learn to accept and love them.
Visit my website for my monthly columns in the Illinois Horse Network newspaper, my books, and my horses.
