I'd like to be as comfortable with horses as I am with dogs--but it ain't gonna happen.judyalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767466505891813090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890777397628672366.post-1086463424014056982014-10-14T23:37:43.972-04:002014-10-14T23:37:43.972-04:00Terry, I never feel comfortable around them, but u...Terry, I never feel comfortable around them, but unlike your protagonist I admire them, love to watch them. And, yes, I felt a bit hesitant about the blog because I know there are a lot of horse people--including many mystery authors. But maybe they don't understand my affinity for dogs, even my current rescue who would just as soon bite everyone he considers a stranger.judyalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767466505891813090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890777397628672366.post-43593040632032429872014-10-12T18:09:46.570-04:002014-10-12T18:09:46.570-04:00I have never ridden, but my daughter competed for ...I have never ridden, but my daughter competed for years. So as I write about riding I use her experiences, not mine! She's also great on helping me write it correctly!! Will definitely read your stories. I enjoy reading about riding, but will never ride myself!!sheri levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044105588939751015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890777397628672366.post-19585165754317776932014-10-12T10:28:59.636-04:002014-10-12T10:28:59.636-04:00Judy, I like horses--or at least I feel totally co...Judy, I like horses--or at least I feel totally comfortable around them. Never had a chance to ride much. So imagine my surprise when my protagonist informed me that he doesn't like horses--has no use for them. I sort of ducked, because I know there are a lot of horse people out there. I can understand not being comfortable with horses--they're big and can be unpredictable.
