Stories of the Horse Girl

My equestrian ebook is about my life with horses. Through over forty stories I tell you all about traveling around the world, riding and spending time with horses as much as I possibly can. Covering stories such as the time I got stuck in Zimbabwe, the other two times I got stuck in Zimbabwe, getting chased on horseback by black rhinos, guiding a pony camp, and about losing motivation for working with horses and the effects of long term full time travel on someone’s mental health. In this blog post I’ll give you all a sneak peak to the stories you can find in my new horse book, so you can decide whether you’d like to read more of my equestrian stories. Below you can find the titles to all the stories of the horse girl!
