Julie Suhr never wavered in the ardor she felt for riding horses and, with delight, she shares the experiences. Between the ears of good horses, she and her husband, Bob, have seen the world from the Siberian border and Outer Mongolia, to the Alaskan tundra, the Outback of Australia, South Africa, France and among the wild animals of Botswana. They have left their tracks on the Pony Express Trail, the Bitterroot Mountains and along the Mexican border and through the redwood forests of California, all on the horses who have shaped her life.

I am a California resident who rode a first pony at age 8 and 80 years later continue to ride through the Santa Cruz Mountains within view of the Pacific surf. I have viewed six continents from the backs of all the good horses that have enriched my life. I have cradled newborn foals as they took their first breath and caressed the aged horses as they took their last. I wrote my first book, Ten Feet Tall, Still, at age 78 on 2002. Ten years later I have just published a second one ...but it wasn't the horse's fault!
