The Horsemanship Years

A serialized memoir about learning horses later in life.

This series follows my path into horsemanship through specific horses, early training mistakes, trail rides, and the slow process of becoming a student again. Each chapter builds on the last, documenting what worked, what didn’t, and what horses taught me along the way.

These chapters are published weekly. Start at the beginning or jump around.
