I sympathise so much. I too have horse longing. I rode a lot as a child and was pony obsessed. But now I live in the city and I haven't been on a horse for so long that I would be scared I think. Thank you for reminding me of the joy.

I love your connection to horses. And your honesty. I think 9 people have read my first book, Life of An Intern's Wife, which I self-published on an account I no longer even access to, lol! Have you read The Horses Know series by Lynn Mann? <3

I wish you lived in Utah. I have a space for your horse and I wouldn’t even charge you. I can see you’re an excellent writer. I look forward to reading your book when it’s done.

aww, thank you. It's wild, the cost of pasture board here, even with good connections. Lately, I think maybe I finish the new book and turn it in to my editor and then I look at horses.

That would be a good motivator.
